Actually...
The heterozygote advantage thing could be especially likely if heterozygotes have intermediate phenotypes between two extremes. As seems to be the case with the sickle-cell anemia / malaria resistance gene.
And if intermediate phenotypes are favored, of course. Not like the case where you either need to camouflage into black or camouflage into white but grey or black and white spots, stripes, or rings, will get you killed everywhere.
