He had crossed two different pea plants. Pure yellow and pure green. He ended up finding that yellow was the dominant color. He also found that the green was recessive to the yellow. But, neither of these two peas were co dominant though.
Thoughts
They didn’t fully understand it at first until way later after Mendel had passed. It also didn’t attract much attention while he was alive.

Mendel had set the foundation of understanding genetics. Later on after his death, scientists started further understanding and finally got what Mendel was trying to get across to them when he was still alive.
