Entry 7Colour modifier
Cold Fusion
A refined Hypo line that takes the base much lighter, and colder, than Hypo does.
HcWhat it looks like
Cold Fusion lightens the base and keeps going further than Hypo, until the pattern carries most of the contrast.
It goes cold as it goes light. A strong one has a soft blue hue to its body rather than a warm pale one, and that is what separates it from a washed-out Hypo by eye.
It only touches the base. The cream and yellow on a Cold Fusion is pattern colour, so the look is warm markings over a cold blue body.
It is a line built by selective breeding rather than a single switch, so it comes as a strength. A faint one only lightens, which is why a weak Cold Fusion passes for a Hypo; it takes a strong one to reach the blue.
It stacks on Hypo and Fire rather than replacing them, so a gecko can carry all three.
The series
Same animal, same seed. Only this gene changes. Open any one in the builder.
With another gene
The same gecko before and after.
On top of Hypo
Hypo lightens a Black base to Lavender. Cold Fusion carries on from there and turns it cold, so the two together land somewhere neither reaches alone.
Named combinations
Morphs that need this gene and at least one other.
Cold Fusionadvanced
Sky-blue coloration (most distinctive). Unique yellows, reds, and lavenders. Paper white WP possible. Produces extreme animals with characteristics not seen in other hypo forms.

Notes
In the genetics dataRefined/enhanced Hypo line producing extremely light coloration with a soft blue hue to the base. Appears to be a distinct Hypo form or enhanced modifier. Tom Favazza's work on hypo refinement. Dominance pattern not yet confirmed.
Telling it apartCold Fusion animals are extremely light, lighter than standard Hypo in many cases, and the base carries a soft blue hue rather than a warm pale one. Cream or yellow pattern over a cold blue body is the giveaway.
On the evidenceCold Fusion appears to be either a distinct Hypo allele or a refined line selection. Tom Favazza's work ongoing. Dominance pattern requires confirmation. Source: Foundation Genetics Part 2.2.
HistoryCold Fusion is an emerging enhanced Hypo line from selective breeding.
