it does not, a mimosa is a ghost (hypo) champagne but that breeding does not create it.

recessive morphs (such as ghost pied and albino) need to be homozygous to visually show, which is basically he same thing as a super.

Male:
Female:
Percent Fraction Traits
50% 1/2 Pastel, Champagne
50% 1/2 Pastel


Male:
Female:
Percent Fraction Traits
50% 1/2 Champagne, Het Hypo
50% 1/2 Het Hypo

to make a visual or super, both parents at the minimum need to have one part of the gene. Only difference between the co-dom/inc-dom and recessive hets is the normals and het recessive look the same

Male:
Female:
Percent Fraction Traits
12.5% 1/8 Champagne, Super Pastel
12.5% 1/8 Super Pastel
25% 1/4 Pastel, Champagne
25% 1/4 Pastel
12.5% 1/8 Champagne
12.5% 1/8 Normal

Male:
Champagne, Het Hypo
Female:
Het Hypo
Percent Fraction Traits
12.5% 1/8 Mimosa
12.5% 1/8 Hypo
37.5% 3/8 Champagne, 66% Possible Het Hypo
37.5% 3/8 66% Possible Het Hypo

When I think of breeding an albino to a pied the odds/outcomes I think about are 1/4 albino 100% het pied 1/4 pied 100% albino and somewhere in there coming out with an albino pied.
Correct odds for albino x pied would be all double hets:

Male:
Female:
Percent Fraction Traits
100% 1/1 Het Albino, Het Piebald

breeding the double hets together would result in this:
Male:
Het Albino, Het Piebald
Female:
Het Albino, Het Piebald
Percent Fraction Traits
6.25% 1/16 Albino, Piebald
18.75% 3/16 Albino, 66% Possible Het Piebald
18.75% 3/16 Piebald, 66% Possible Het Albino
56.25% 9/16 66% Possible Het Albino, 66% Possible Het Piebald
