Eye colors

There are a multitude of different genes and factors that can affect the color of your veilhorn's eyes.

When designing your veilhorn you have two options:

Do you want your veilhorn's eyes to be the color of their elemental alignment?
Or do you want the eyes to be naturally colored, determined by their genes?
- Horses with more than one dilution gene usually have lighter eyes. A double cream dilution always results in blue eyes, no matter what other dilutions the horse has (the only exception being pseudo-albino dominant white).

You can give your character any pupil shape you want.

Brown eyes

Caused by:

Base colors Single cream

Any shade of brown, anywhere from very dark near-black to almost golden brown.

Green/Hazel eyes

Caused by:

Pearl Cream pearl*Champagne

Hazel brown, olive-green-ish, a mix of green, brown and gold hues. *Cream pearl can choose between hazel and blue.

Blue eyes

Caused by:

Double cream Cream pearl*Certain white patterns

Pearl and Champagne combinationCream pearl and Champagne combination

Light blue, can be bright saturated blue, or more grey "steel" blue. *Cream pearl can choose between hazel and blue.

Slate and dark blue eyes

Caused by:

Blue dilute

Any shade of blue including dark blue, cobalt, and grey.

Seafoam

Caused by:

Blue and Pearl combinationBlue and Cream pearl* combinationBlue and Champagne combination

When blue is combined with either pearl, cream pearl or champagne (not both) the eyes can be a light seafoam or pastel teal. *Cream pearl can also be light blue.

Tawny eyes

Caused by:

Tawny dilute

Tawny eyes have warm tones and can be any shade from bright/rich brown and golden/orange to peachy pink.

Golden eyes

Caused by:

Tawny and Pearl combinationTawny and Cream pearl* combinationTawny and Champagne combination

When tawny is combined with either pearl, cream pearl or champagne the eyes can be a light golden or pastel orange. *Cream pearl can also be light blue.

Blue tawny (purple) eyes

Caused by:

Blue and tawny combination

When both blue and tawny is present, the eyes will be a mix of tawny and slate, causing a grey or mulberry-purple shade.

Lavender / rosy

Caused by:

Blue tawny and Pearl combinationBlue tawny and Cream pearl* combinationBlue tawny and Champagne combination

When blue and tawny are combined with either pearl, cream pearl or champagne (not both) the eyes can be a lavender or pastel mulberry. *Cream pearl can also be light blue.

Pseudo-albino eyes

Caused by:

Pseudo-albino dominant white

Red/pink/salmon/golden eyes are caused by the pseudo-albino optional effect of Dominant white.

Lich eyes

Caused by:

Lich

Lich can optionally cause undead eyes that are completely black or completely white. Lich eyes should not be red, but they can have a faint red/pink outline around the sclera as if the eye is infected.

Black sclera

Caused by:

Eclipse

Eclipse can optionally cause the eyes to have black sclera (the eye-white). The iris color is never affected by Eclipse, and will be the same color it would've been if the Eclipse mutation wasn't there.

Other colored eyes

Caused by:

Elemental alignments Shimmer

You may always optionally color the eyes after your Veilhorn's elemental alignment (restricted to the colors of that element). Shimmer can also optionally affect eye color (restricted to the available colors of shimmer present).

Heterochromia

Caused by:

Heterochromia

The colors available for heterochromia depend on the genes/patterns of your Veilhorn. For example you can have one naturally colored eye, and one eye colored by the elemental alignment, but you may not use colors not present in your Veilhorn's genes/element. Some white patterns can cause heterochromia if the white pattern is only touching one eye.

Blind eyes

Caused by:

Blindness

Blind Veilhorns will have white or milky eyes. It can have a faint outline on the iris of the character's real eye color, or be completely white/grey. Blindness can affect both eyes or just one.
