Dominant white
WW / nW
Effects
- Skin: skin will be light pink under any white patterns
- Horns and hooves: will be light [Horn & hoof color guide]
- Eye color: eyes can optionally be blue. light red/pink/salmon/golden eyes are allowed on pseudo-albino dominant white. [Eye color guide]
- White patterns cause a lack of color pigment in the coat, resulting in pink skin and white hairs. Skin will always be pink under white markings, even if blue dilute is present.
- Modifiers, Dilutions and Patterns must always go under white patterns, and are also not allowed to "appear" to go over white patterns.
- Can generally cause blue eyes if the white markings reach the eyes, unless otherwise specified.
- Hooves and horns will be lighter when affected by white.
- The minimum expression of each white pattern (except natural white which is optional) can only be reduced with Occlusion, which can partially or fully "turn off" or hide genes.
Appearance
Dominant white causes the horse to have fully white hairs and pink skin throughout the entire coat, regardless of any other present patterns. In Veilhorns, dominant white will always cover the entire body.

chestnut + dominant white
Optional effect: Pseudo-albino
Dominant white can optionally appear as a near-opaque white layer instead - on top of the underlying color and patterns, causing even a black coat to appear as a bright, near-white pink/peach/yellow with soft pink skin. Other white patterns will still appear as white.
Pseudo-albino will always be in the peachy/orange/yellow color range, regardless of other dilutes and base colors. The only exception is if the Blue dilute is present, then you may choose if the coat is pink/orange/yellow or more grey/slate blue. The skin may still (optionally) be pink on a pseudo-albino blue horse, including pink eyes and pink/beige hooves. If both Blue and Tawny is present then a more pink/bubblegum/light-purple tone is allowed. Skin must always be pink under any other white markings that are present.
Pseudo-albino causes the horns and hooves to be very light, either in the same color range of horns/hooves affected by double cream or white patterns, or in a slightly more peachy tone. On pseudo-albino the eyes can be light red/pink/salmon/golden.
