    Re: Pinstripe / Bright Yellow

    I got one for ya. Hypo Killer Blast (Hypo Pinstripe Super Pastel). It exists, and it is yellow. Also since it is a hypo, it will retain that coloration beautifully.

    Thanks for the suggestions.

    I showed my son the Killer Blast. He liked it but he said he wanted more contrast, so more dark markings, and deeper, cleaner yellow.

    Anything fit that description?

    Well, as someone said, hypo killer blast might clean up the yellow, but it won't overall improve the contrast because it will also lighten the dark markings. They said it exists, but I don't know where a picture is.

    Someone else suggested throwing YB in the mix. YB is a good "clean up" morph that might also improve the yellow, but may leave more contrast. Not sure if a YB killer blast exists. Even a YB blast might be really nice looking.

    I suggest getting a killer blast, or at least an assortment of pastels and pins that you like, and then selectively breeding for several generations. That is definitely one way to clean up the yellow, improve the contrast, etc.

    It is not a pin, but the best "more contrast, so more dark markings, and deeper, cleaner yellow" BP that I recall seeing (pictures, not irl) is the yellow jacket:

    Also, you should look at lemon blasts. Their yellow is more golden, but they do have more contrast. More affordable than many of the other suggestions, too! Compare at NERD's site:
    Lemon blast:

    Super blast (I think this is just another name for killer blast, right?):

    Thanks Casey.

    Any idea what the yellow jacket sold for?
