I am a little confused, and I thought maybe some one here could help me out (as there seems to be a lot of lovely people that are willing to share their knowledge). I hope that I can explain this in a way that makes sense, and I don't look stupid.
Is chocolate considered to be a dilute of seal given that chocolate is just a lighter version of black, and seal points are considered to genetically black cat? Or is chocolate considered it's own primary color?
Everything I have read says that blue is the dilute of seal and lilac is the dilute of chocolate. Shouldn't it be chocolate is the dilute of seal, blue is the dilute of chocolate and lilac is the dilute of blue ("dilution" is the gene that gives a living creature a lighter coat pattern, correct?)
If two dilutes (blue and lilac) cannot create seal or chocolate; why can two blues create lilac but two lilacs cannot create a blue? Is it because lilac is the lightest of all 4 colors and blue is not?
Sorry I hope that all makes sense. I have tried to do my own research but I must admit that I am having a hard time understanding!
