You are getting exactly what you should get. Tangerine gene is recessive to lycopene. Beta Carotene is dominant over lycopene with the caveat that lycopene expresses significantly but not to the point of color dominance. Have you grown Caro Red?
BTW, I'd like to put my name on a pack of those Opalka X 97L97 and another of the Opalka X Jaune Flammee seed! They could give a VERY interesting segregation in the F2. Orangepalka anyone?
