Note that Filial combinations no.1-6 are HOMOZYGOUS. We also have to consider HETEROZYGOUS combinations because they could also produce chocolates

Possible Filial combinations of heterozygotes
7. mgPr x mgPr
8. mgpr x mgpr
9. mgPr x mgpr

Genotypic Ratio

7. mgPr x mgPr
25% mgmg
50% mgPr
25% PrPr

8. mgpr x mgpr
25% mgmg
50% mgpr
25% prpr

9. mgPr x mgpr
25% mgmg
25% mgPr
25% mgpr
25% Prpr

Phenotypic Ratio

7. mgPr x mgPr
25% (mgmg) Recessive magenta
50% (mgPr) darker reddish brown
25% (PrPr) Wild purple

8. mgpr x mgpr
25% (mgmg) Recessive magenta
50% (mgpr) red
25% (prpr) Recessive purple

9. mgPr x mgpr
25% (mgmg) Recessive magenta
25% (mgPr) darker reddish brown
25% (mgpr) red
25% (Prpr) Heterozygote purple

NOTE: For recessive magenta (mgmg), recessive purple (prpr), wild magenta (MgMg), wild purple (PrPr), heterozygote magenta (Mgmg) and heterozygote purple (Prpr), colours are not addressed as of yet; I cannot find comparisons/studies for these combinations.
