No, because the eyes of an ultramel aren't amelanistic. Ultra and amel together make a "pink" flower, not a red and white flower. Ultra is darker than ultramel. Ultramel is darker than amel because some melanin is still present. Amel has no melanin. If ultra and amel were codom the animal would look like a paradox, with amel patches and ultra patches, just like a flower with red streaks and white streaks. But it doesn't show that way. Ultramel shows as an even midpoint between the expression of the two genes.
