Shades are like all other breedable / passable traits.
The mother is hiding the flash shade, as the father has blush, which is recessive to flash.
Keep on breeding them, you'll end up having kittens with natural shade showing, as hidden traits
don't always pass as visible or pass at all.
That's what I do, I am not a fan of shades either, I have a breeding pair of Black Bengals that throw
their hidden twinkle shade now and then, but not all the time, they also sometimes pass another hidden
fur that can't be seen at all on the pedigree, but hiddens can hide for generations.

Thanks, but I still don't understand how the mother could be hiding the Flash shade as (as far as I understand) her only choices for a recessive trait wold come from one or the other of her parents, neither of which have the Flash trait.
Wouldn't the mother (who has the natural shade) only have one or the other of her parents non-hidden traits for her hidden trait? The manual suggests that if her visible fur trait ("Natural") comes from one of her parents, (and her father is a "Natural") then her hidden trait in the same category has to be her mothers *visible* trait (her mother was a "Glitter").
The manual is very confusingly written though, lol.
Is there anything at all that's recessive to Natural? Based on RL, Natural should be dominant to everything else really.
