When crossing an ebony with a beige, you usually get a tan. Shades can vary from light tan to dark tan. But, you can also get a standard gray. Regardless of the color of tan, hetro ebony or standard gray, it and future generations should be listed as a possible ebony carriers. The reason for this is because ebonies have the rap-a-round color and not the white belly. At any time in the future, that ebony may show back-up as what is commonly referred to as a 'dirty-belly' (not the pure white that is desirable). This is why the ebony is often referred to as a "wild card" in genetics.
What are the grand parents of this kit? (I am referring to color.)
A good light tan is sometimes mistaken for a violet ... depending on the lighting and knowledge of the person. If you have a true pure violet or sapphire, take them into the natural sunlight and place them side by side with the new kit ... you should notice the difference right off the bat.
Floresent lighting can really fool you with many colors ... natural lighting is the best.
