Colour mutation for dummies

Hi,

I am new to this colour mutation variety. I have previously had Crimson rosellas, who only have a blue and lutino colour mutation.

Can anybody try to simplify the different colours and how to achieve them? I would be really grateful if it could be shown visually a bit like what I have made below with human eye colour;

Parent------------------Mother--------------------Father
Colour-------------------Blue-----------------------blue
Gene------------------blue/blue-----------------Blue/blue
Gives------------------100% blue eyed blue/blue genes

Parent------------------Mother------------------Father
Colour------------------blue---------------------brown
Gene------------------blue/blue---------------brown/blue
Gives------------------50% blue eyed blue/blue and 50% brown eyed brown/blue

Parent------------------Mother------------------Father
Colour------------------brown------------------brown
Gene------------------brown/blue------------brown/blue
Gives 50% brown eyed brown/blue 25% brown eyed brown/brown 25% blue eyed blue/blue

Parent------------------Mother------------------Father
Colour------------------brown------------------brown
Gene------------------brown/blue------------brown/brown
Gives------------------50% brown eyed brown/blue 50% brown eyed brown/brown

Parent------------------Mother------------------Father
Colour------------------brown------------------brown
Gene----------------brown/brown-----------brown/brown
Gives------------------100% brown eyed brown/brown

If I can see this elsewhere I would be very appreciative of a link.

Thank you in advance for your kind assistance :)
