as i see it, especially in combos, calico versus enchi calco and banana versus enchi banana would be examples, enchi is mainly a pattern morph or pattern enhancer. and about the color, enchi ideally leaves the light areas of the pattern as they are, but makes the dark areas of the pattern a little bit darker. which basically leads to higher contrast of the pattern. its not a strong darkener, also it darkens only some areas selectively. over all i consider it to be a weak, selective darkener, while it is mainly a pattern enhancer.

of course you can line-breed enchis to be lighter and many people do so, but for me thats not really the character of the morph.
