Mad Hatter x Golden Cayenne

[PepperDaemon]

This growing season I'm going to start crossing some of my peppers. I did enough reading on the forum and elsewhere to begin to get the hang of the rules/laws of pepper crossing. If I am understanding correctly, within a range (no two cross are ever the same?), it's fairly easy to predict at least some of the results that will express themselves in an F1 plant - because dominant genes always express themselves over recessive genes in the first generation. The problem is, other than knowing that the color 'red' is a dominant gene, I don't know any other 'dominant genes/traits' in peppers.
 
Can someone predict with a reasonable degree of accuracy what I'll end up with in the F1 generation if I cross the Mad Hatter (itself an F1 cross) with the Golden Cayenne? I know that since the Mad Hatter is an F1 already, the results can be unpredictable, because recessive genes will show themselves, but let's just pretend that the Mad Hatter is a stable F6 pepper.
 
Is there a list of normally dominant pepper traits available somewhere so I can make my own predictions?
 
I have plenty more plant genetics questions but these two questions would help me form a foundation for greater possible understanding. My ultimate goal is to grow Pepper Daemons embedded within the pepper pods of a massively evolved pepper plant that glows with bioluminescent radiance at night. I may have to splice jellyfish genes into the pepper genes to achieve the bioluminosity, but I'll worry about that when it comes time.

Don't you need stability so you can keep kicking out the same thing?

I assume so, yes. I'm pretty new at this though. I was thinking I could reestablish stability in the next generation after the latent traits of the Mad Hatter F1 show themselves. I would just pick one of the random expressions in the F1 generation and work to stabilize it. It doesn't worry me too much that the Mad Hatter will reveal some recessive genes in the 1st generation. I hope I am understanding this correctly.

open invitation: I'll splice any gene into capsicum for $100,000.

Very interesting (the crossing, not the gene splicing). I don't think one of the parents being an F1 is going to be a problem. It probably just mean you'll get a bit more variation in the F1 generation than what you otherwise would get.

In some cases genes are as simple as one gene being dominant over another. But in many cases it's a bit more complicated.
This guy has a bit of insight into the pathways of pepper colors and how different mutations result in different colors:

How are you going about selecting your F1 Cross? What colors/flavors/shapes are you looking for?

This first attempt will be a random crossing. I'll see what comes up in the F1 generation, pick the most interesting results, and then repeat the process in the F2 generation. I don't really have predetermined qualities I'm looking for this time. Though, if I could choose, it would be interesting to create an olive-color or purple when ripe pepper. I doubt that's possible with these two peppers?

I don't know the parentage of the Mad Hatter, but it seems unlikely those colors are a possibility. Based on the information from the link DK Peppers posted, you'd need a brown pepper instead of the Mad Hatter to introduce the chlorophyll retainer gene to the yellow pepper.
