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.)
- 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.
