Shroud
ShrShr / nShr
Appearance
Shroud causes a wild camouflage-like countershaded pattern similar to sooty but with more distinct shapes, generally starting from the spine/topline of the horse and reaching downwards.
The shroud markings can be multiple different shades that are black or darker than the coat.
It can optionally have lighter accents around the markings or covering the underside/belly of the horse.
The edges of the shroud markings can be both soft/blurry and sharp/clear, and even have a jagged look mimicing the appearance of long fur.
Both shroud markings and the light shroud accents can optionally affect mane and tail.
- 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.
