For anyone staring at this too long:

Phenotype Genotype(s) N Allele Note
Green bb only 4 b is recessive, needs two
Blue Bb or BB 12 B is dominant, needs just one
Mike aa only 4 a is recessive, needs two
Sully Aa or AA 12 A is dominant, needs just one

So Blue and Sully win out in most scenarios by default

    i posit mikeness is only partially dominant with sullyness and thus the chart is wrong (needs more inbetweens)

    I didn't know Mike and Sulley were into each other like that, but I will support them and their new family

    I have previously come across a white appearing woman with a white appearing husband and a mixed race black appearing baby. The woman used this to argue that the reason their baby is half black is because she had a black great grandparent. The husband accepted this logic.

    Skin color is polygenic, meaning it is influenced by many genes rather than one or two. As of now, dozens of genes are established as influencing skin color.

    If both parents each only have a few of these genes contributing to dark skin and the majority of them contributing to light skin, both parents will have fairly light skin. If their child then inherits exactly those genes that contribute to dark skin, it is plausible that it has darker skin than either parent.

    Which is possible. So are other reasons. If I was him I'd have a test done, just so he can prove to his friends who ask if it's true. Because of course it's true, why would she lie, right?

    It's funny but it works. I was able to figure out the percentage chance of outliers quickly without any additional thought beyond the visuals.

    And here I am just trying to figure out how they would mate.
