Temporary example image.

May have incorrect eye-colour, please refer to the eye-colour section instead.

Eye colour: Deep blue

Deep blue eyes may be any shade of blue, including dark blue, and can range in saturation anywhere from cobalt to fully grey. It should not have hints of teal or purple.

Skin colour: Blue

Blue

Blue skin should be a desaturated blue or slate grey. Skin areas affected by white patterns or markings must be either light pink or a very light and desaturated baby blue.

Horn/hoof colour: Blue

Blue horns and hooves should be a dark and very desaturated blue. They can be almost as dark as black, or as light as a medium grey. Should be closer in tone to grey than blue, but can have blue tones.

If white markings are touching, the affected parts of blue horns and hooves should be either a very light and desaturated blue, or regular light/cream-coloured.

You can freely customize your design's basecoat and mane/tail with subtle variations in brightness and saturation, giving it a slightly countershaded appearance, as long as it doesn't mimic genes your Veilhorn doesn't have. Countershading should not be so visible that it looks like Pangare or Sooty.

Subtle dark or light dapples may be added on any coat even if genes that normally causes dapples are not present. Note that "natural" dapples should be faint and may not mimic genes your Veilhorn doesn't have.
