So I was messing around with the genetics calculator here, http://www.silverfallchinchilla.com/genetics/ChinCrossCalculator.aspx and have kind of an odd question. If you breed a standard to a violet you get a standard (violet carrier), if you breed a standard to a pure sapphire you get standard (sapphire carrier). If you then breed these two hypothetical chins you have a 25% chance of getting a standard (sapphire and violet carrier). Please correct me if I am wrong up to this point. Now my question is, what would happen if you bred two standard, violet-sapphire carriers?

My bet would be you would have a chance of getting standards, violets, sapphires, standard (sapphire-violet carrier), Standard (violet carrier), standard (sapphire carrier)...but is there anything else? For example is there a chance that you could get a violet-sapphire minus the standard gene?

I know it is a random question, but my brain decided to play genetics today....
 
Beige violet is a chinchilla that is violet and beige at the same time, for this, you would have to have a beige violet carrier and a violet chinchilla to get this color, or breed a beige v/c to a standard v/c, it is the same for sapphires.
