The yellow one will be splash.

I think I have this straight.  Blue is a dominant diluting gene which works on black, so if you have one copy of the blue, black is diluted to blue, if you have two copies, black is diluted to white (with blue spashes, hence... spash).

It's a lot more complcated than that, but I think that's the gist of it.
