Quill
QllQll / nQll
Appearance
Quill causes wavy striping or barring across the body, mimicing the appearance of feathers - similar to Sebright chickens that have a striking laced feather pattern.
The quill pattern can have alternating light accents and dark markings, and can flow in the direction of the coat hair (but doesn't have to.)
Quill can additionally optionally affect mane and tail and create striping or barring (horizontally or vertically).
- 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.
