OT: Pigments (was TB, lumis, plics, Silverado)

Ok, we are way off the string here, so I have changed the Subject.

The way iris pigments work, green plus blue do not equal green and if you
cross blue and pink.you could get yellow.

Green in irises is chlorophyll.

The dosages I was speaking of earlier refer to the gene that inhibits the
expression of pigment. I did not say there are four doses of the pigments
blue and yellow.  There are dosages so to speak of the "I" gene.

Hope this answers your question.
