Non-wild alleles that interact to form this phenotype:
Dark (D), Stripeless (S), Smokey (Sm)

A smokey black blushing is a black or hybrid black angelfish with two stripeless alleles and one smokey allele and has one of these genotypes:

D/D - S/S - Sm/+
D/Gm - S/S - Sm/+
D/g - S/S - Sm/+

As with a black blushing, the color will be a smooth velvety black, and thus this phenotype may be referred to as smokey black velvet.
