Th e same system exists in German populations, but the colours are closer together (bluish green, yellowish green and red; genotypes gg, rg, and rr). In addition to this system, in German populations a violet form was found in the genetic analysis (Vr, Vg), the colour of which is also produced by a multilayer system.
