Everyone is subject to their opinions. But if you follow certain bloodlines you will notice certain color paterns that tend to be more in its line. My best example I can give is to look at the off color of the Harmon's Ink line of hounds and look at the Rocky line with red white being a dominate color also take a look at he woodstock lines when you see a woodstock hound you know it is . So what helps dominate these bloodlines ??? In my opinion is why the guys breed within their lines..
On the other hand me as a breeder used to want redtick to dominate at one time I even thought about red and whites. Now I find myself wanting blues.. So many guysand myself included say well if I wanted to hunt a bluetick I would go buy a bluetick. Is it wrong to have a color preference? If it was when you went o bau a new truck you would only be able to buy one color. This seems to always get people thinking wrong of your question. I understand it as you would like to dominate the blue color. Are you gonna loose ablitiy by wanting that. In my opinion your probably gonna increase your abiliy on the nose side of it. English breeders can say what they want but in opinion the futher you get away from the blues the hotter noses your line becomes. But the diehard redtick guys don't want to say that. And I may be wrong. But if you study pedigrees and know the good and bad in the bloodlines it can be corrected if crossed the proper way..
Now back to your question I personaly believe that it can happen. Why, well it all starts back when they seperated the breed. They bred blue to blue to get blueticks and tri color to tri color to get Walkers etc. Now to be successful at color domination you would have to cull the off colored ones. Thats why walker men frown on ticked up walkers and too many ticks aren't aceptable into the breed. Just as a white american bluetick isn't aceptable. Now the trick question is how many times will it take to dominate the color? And are you willing to cull all that aren't blue. I know of big breeders that usd to do this. They wanted redtick color to dominate the breed so they culled the blues to help do so. If the English breed would only except redtick color where would the breed be today?? No tri-pcoors no blueticks no red and whites..JMO's
Here was a cross between a white blue english male and a redtick female
Roofus is the sire to this pair Blu and Sue

Below is 'PR' PLAIN ENGLISH'S HARDTIME DUECE He is out of a red and white male and a retick female. He is the closest color to what I call chocolate that I have ever had. This picture actually don't show as much brown as he really was.
