How do you determine how many offspring will be the dominant color?

You can use a Punnet Square to figure it out. For example, if gray elephants dominate over brown elephants, and you cross 1 homozygous gray elephant (GG) and one homozygous brown elephant (gg), the Punnet square predicts that the offspring will all be heterozygous Gg. They will all be gray, however, because gray dominates over brown.
