Colour breaks

Bewilderbeast

Colour break (CB) means when a new colour or colour pattern has been developed by hybridizing. The most recent breakthoughs have been in 2 locations in the USA, where random striped patterns have been developed in Utah, and luminata patterns (a dark colour wash over a light ground, where the lighter coloured veining shows through) in Oregon. The one colour break that is eagerly awaited is the development of a “true” red, but that is only really likely by genetic interference.
