None that are pink. If you want to see all the types there are we have heaps in out mutations section with photos Link to comment

Any other color is technically a mutation, although these mutations have been around for some time now so colors like blue seem normal. Link to comment

Merriam-Webster defines mutation as: 1. a significant and basic alteration.....3. a relatively permanent change in hereditary material involving either a physical change in chromosome relations or a biochemical change in the codons that make up the genes...an individual strain or trait resulting from a mutation In the wild any color other than green would be not normal.
