Answer: 50-60% chance of being a darker skin tone, in this case Purple (P).

And red skin would be: 40-50%

Explained:

The Genotype is the genes of an organism. A capital letter represents the dominant form of a gene ( P is a cap so it is dominant) , and a lowercase letter is the abbreviation for the recessive form of the gene (less dominant).

So darker skins have dominant traits. So

50-60% chance of being a darker skin tone, in this case Purple (P).

And red skin would be: 40-50%

Answer:

Every genotypic combination with DD or Dd is classified as Rh Positive (red).

Step-by-step explanation:

It may be because extra blood rushes to the skin's surface to fight off irritants and encourage healing. Your skin can also become red from exertion, such as after a heart-pounding exercise session.

This is just an explanation of why there skin might turn red.

Hope this helps!
