Geez....a bit harsh no?...........and it cannot be that simple. There's
green. There's grey/blue. There's salmon.There's orange.There's red-orange.
There's yellow.There's an almost black green.Theres the white ones. There's
the creamy ones. The mottled ones,the faintly striped ones,the half and half
ones, etc........its not just green or orange...there's got to be more to
it...the color thing is very interesting but not anywhere's as simple as  
this...........................................(.ps...do you have any idea
what you would be eliminating Mr Gregory,if you eliminated all "heterozygous
green genes from the pool?).......................................Glenn A.,a
