Papilio
PplPpl / nPpl
Appearance
Papilio appears as lacy spots and stripes similar to the pattern on butterfly wings.
The markings are black or darker than the coat, with light and/or white details and accents.
Papilio can display "false eye" spots as seen on peacock butterflies.
Markings are limited to darker and lighter shades than the base coat (including black and white) unless modifiers and/or shimmer is present as well, see modifier interactions and shimmer guide for details on each.
While the examples all show papilio markings starting from the topline of the horse, there is no limit to where papilio can appear (i.e. only on legs is completely fine).
- Patterns are always darker than the base color, and can optionally have lighter accents.
- Can optionally be affected by certain Modifiers:
- Bronze turns patterns bronze or rich brown.
- Flaxen turns patterns creamy white or lighter than the base coat. (only affects chestnut-based (ee) coats)
- Silver turns patterns white or lighter than the base coat. (only affects black-based (EE or Ee) coats)
- Chromatic turns patterns into a different hue or saturation.
- Grey can leave the patterns unaffected (doesn't grey out), or leave the entire body unaffected and only the patterns grey out.
- Can be affected by Shimmer in many different ways, see shimmer guide for details.
- Always goes below White patterns.
- Doesn't affect skin, eye or hoof/horn color.
- Can optionally affect mane/tail.
