    No it wouldn't - the BEL genes are "stronger" I guess you could say. BEL causes all pigment reduction, not just melanin. The only genes that "overlap" BEL would be Albino. Hard to explain technically, but from experience breeding BEW rabbits for years in many breeds, and seeing pictures of the albino leucistic ball pythons that proves it. There are already Pastel BEL's and they still have Blue eyes regardless of the fact that Pastels have green. A green eyed lucy would be amazing though, and maybe it will be done someday
