Examples: amelanistic motley, caramel diffuse hypo stripe (short forms of certain genes may be used in the title when multiple genes are involved), anery dilute stripe Sunkissed.

And I don't think the various types of motley pattern should have their own thread. They are all motley and with the variation, where do you draw the line as to what is a Q-tipped and what is a pin-striped.

And with alleles, if there is a phenotypic difference between the various combinations, they will be listed separately. Ultra and ultramel, for example. But I don't think "het motley het stripe" should have it's own thread as they look just like motleys. Unless someone knows the genetic make-up, telling the difference is really just a guess.

And for "het markers", that can be a discussion in the individual cultivar/cultigen thread.
