Alrighty - I had a lot of shrimp, and most of them died, but a few obviously survived, and their offspring, and the offspring of those are very clear/transparent with only a hint/vein of read.

I seem to have two 'lines' of genes in the tank, with some very red shrimp, and the rest transparent.

I'll try and get a photo; but I was just wondering if this was normal/heard of.
 
Hiya Castle, they will revert to wild pigmentation without selective breeding, how quickly depends on what you start with in my experience! Also males are often lighter colour to begin with - you may already know that ;) I am sure more experience members will share their knowledge too
