Charlie, in the cross you mention, it is simple to do the selection needed. Grow the F1 plant from crossing a PL pink to a RL Gwr. Save the seed and then grow a boat load of F2's the next season. Keep only the PL seedlings. By growing only the PL F2's, you can pre-select and focus effort on finding the recessive color combination. Set out at least 32 of the PL plants and 1 or 2 of them should be a nice Gwr tomato. There will be a few other Gwr's among them, but not so good flavored so you can cull them.
