This is a table of stress results for my sandbloom giant #66. The colors are Y3 (lemon drop petal),
G1 (a pale green), Y1 (pale yellow in sunshine) and G2 (addition of G1+Y1). The maximum potential of the west facing petals are G2 with occasional breaks. As the East petals never lose color, I assume there is at least one more gene than maximum for that petal, so even if one breaks, that petal is still saturated. The CMY values are approximately:
| color | C | M | Y | CMY |
| S | 120 | 120 | 120 | - |
| Y1 | 120 | 120 | 150 | Y |
| Y2 | 120 | 120 | 180 | YY |
| Y3 | 120 | 120 | 210 | YYY |
| G1 | 180 | 150 | 180 | CCMYY |
| G2 | 180 | 150 | 210 | CCMYYY |
This is a fairly broad assumption, but it looks like a base of 120 CMY (128?) with +30 (32?) units per chromophore and it saturates at three multiples. That leaves the colors down to 64 which is plenty.
New Info: As suggested by sigil and seen in color picking, I may have some 4Y which is nearly indistinguishable from 3Y in flowers without a color picker. Using visual color picker, I was definitely picking up Y=255 on some green petals and in some recent Blizzard acquisitions I notice this color is just a touch bolder than 3Y alone. I'll have to go through the stresses carefully with the color picker in the future. What this means in general is that it's like 128+32/gene in each type.
Breakpoints:
- L8: G2 changes to Y2 (or Y1). At that point there is a drop in 2C and 1M (and maybe 1Y) all at once. I suggest the following scenario to explain that there may exist more complex genes in sandblooms than in roses.
- a gene (Z) for all the above (2C1M(1Y)) that is only two bases long. Very unlikely. ZxxxxxZ <- ZZxxxxx
- a gene for 1K and a gene for 1C that both overlap at this point. Not sure how this might be configured, since if they were of differing sizes, one would appear back in the flower before the other.
- possibly a color misread and I have to try it again to see both the green and yellow. If it's the same green as in Dragyn#335, then that's just CYY, ergo a lose of Y would be a lighter green (CY) and a loss of C would be yellow (Y2).** Teppy's just messing with us
- various: G2 changes to G1, a drop in 1Y, which in two places is for two consecutive stresses which would suggest a length 3 gene. However there is also a drop for only one stress (L3). I could suggest a third bridge base such that A_B is valid as well as AB. I dislike this because it reminds me of epicycles, so it's probably an entirely different length 3 gene that does the same thing (and maybe more).
- giant gene drops out for 3 stresses, confirmed with multiple giants and giantx2:
- the giant gene is a length 4 gene
- xxxHUGE -> ExxxHUG -> GExxxHU -> UGExxxH -> HUGExxx
- giant gene seems to have an odd interaction with other color genes, usually showing up within the next two stresses as the same type of gene breaking
