Jairam,
ATB are highly varialbe in color. So much so that noone can really say for sure that any color phase can and will always breed true with every single pairing. Yes, you increase the odds of that particular color being produced from a like color pairing but it is by far a certainty. Certain pairings that come mind that consitantly produce a color phases in every clutch are the Ralph Chapmans Red phases and Danny Mendezs tiger phases. With long term line breeding it may be possible to increase the odds more of say an all red patternless clutch for example.

But the phases the ads advertising is the color of the animal. The link I provided has a great selection of pics that are divided into the color phases. This album will also help show you just variable even the color phases can be.

Hope this cleared it up some for you.
