Silky coat here we come

Their mama (with the long silky coat) stilled flash gold and the one I call a 'cotton coat' flashed kind of a green-gold (but definitely more gold). The article referenced a "red" eye but I didn't see where specifically talked about a "gold" eye. The way I read the article was though it was about texture it was more of them holding the pigment. Was that correct? So a blue/green is suppose to be the silky texture but moreso will hold the darker pigment...that's how I read it - let me know if I'm correct or not. The 'cotton coat' is darker overall than the silky (mama) in the saddle area, though since I put the adults on Royal Canin's "Beauty Care" they have really darkened up (noticeably enough the groomer thought I put dye on the one).
Thanks.

I'm not sure, but that is interesting. I hope someone knows/I need to do research! My Levi's eyes definitely flash and reflect green. He has very silky hair, but it is not at all dark. He is very light-colored at almost three years old, so it is definitely his adult coat.
