This Charcoal Palmetto shows promise for what we expected; freckles that are all shades of gray and black.  It could be that unlike typical Palmettos that only show perhaps 1/3 of their colors as hatchlings — and show more of them as they mature — maybe the Charcoal Palmettos show all of its markings from DAY-one?  Since this is the first of its kind, we’ll just have to find out as she matures.  It definitely is obvious that she is showing many more color flecks than typical Palmettos of this age.
