breeding Novice pepper crossing question

I'ma complete novice when it come to crossing and pollination of peppers. I was wondering, if I was to cross a white habenero type with a yellow pepper (7pod yellow or fatali ect..), what are the chances if at all the resulting pepper would be red in color?

depends on how stable that white/yellow pepper were...if they're like the second generation of a red pepper/other cross then there's a decent chance it'd turn out red but if it's like the 12th generation of that color you'll probably get a good mix
 
there's a chance, but probably not in the f-1 seeds. the f-2s would probably have some reds, i would imagine. this is only speculation from what i have read and heard about the subject. i have yet to grow out my f-2s and they were red to begin with...
