Of course, that also depends upon your definition of axanthic as some sources also include red being removed, but we use anerythristic for that. I really suspect that cinder has an axanthic effect as I have yet to see any homozygous cinder with yellow. They have black and red pigment but if you look at the buttermints, they really don't have the expected yellow and what color they show reminds me of the more of the off-white color of an amel's saddle bands.
