Veilhorn Steed

seal buckskin

Genetics

Base: seal bay

Dilutions: single cream

Genotype:

Appearance

The light points of a seal buckskin should be an even creamy golden, and can range anywhere from a darker golden tone to bright golden and buttercream yellow. The mane, tail, and black points should follow the same black-point range of seal bay, and must be either black or the same colour and appearance as smoky black.

Examples

The following examples are allowed variations of seal buckskin, and show how the coat can vary in brightness and tone, as well as black point expression. Feel free to copy the colours or pick something inbetween.

Eye colour: Dark brown

Dark brown eyes can range from near-black to a lighter chocolate, but should not appear golden or too bright.

Skin colour: Dark

Dark

Dark skin should be either dark grey or black. Skin areas affected by white patterns or markings must be light pink.

Horn/hoof colour: Dark

Dark horns and hooves should be black, dark grey or very desaturated dark brown. They should not be a saturated or rich brown.

If white markings are touching, the affected parts of dark horns and hooves will be very light or 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.
