Hypo reduces (rather than eliminates) black, giving soft grey-lavender banding; lavender is a distinct recessive line prized for its purplish-grey base. Both are healthy.
Keeper tips for this variant
Lavender tone deepens with maturity—judge a hatchling's potential by its parents, and keep them on neutral-colored substrate so the delicate color reads well.
