Chromatic
modifier
Genetics
Genotype options:
Appearance
Chromatic causes the base coat to have a much greater variation in brightness and/or saturation. The coat can shift into colors much darker or lighter, as well as more or less saturated.
If multiple dilutions are present then the coat can optionally cause the dilutions to affect separate areas, for example as shown in the chromatic blue honey example it can show honey areas unaffected by blue, and blue chestnut areas unaffected by tawny.
Minimum requirement:
- A soft shift in hue, saturation, or brightness, somewhere on the coat or mane/tail.
Minimum requirements can be reduced or completely removed by the [LINK] occlusion trait.
Allowed:
- Fully or partially saturate and/or desaturate the coat.
- Fully or partially lighten and/or darken the coat.
- Affect mane and/or tail in the same way it affected the coat.
- Affect mane/tail only.
Not allowed:
- Can not turn the coat or mane/tail into a completely different colour.
Eye colour:
Doesn't affect eye colour.
Skin colour:
Doesn't affect skin colour.
Horn/hoof colour:
Doesn't affect horn or hoof colour.
Examples
Mismarked
Mismarked is an optional effect of Chromatic
The minimum requirements of Chromatic must still be met regardless if Mismarked is shown or not.
Mismarked is not listed in the phenotype, a Chromatic with Mismarked is still only written as Chromatic.
Appearance
Mismarked causes patches or streaks in one or more of the chromatic colors on the base coat. Mismarked can have clean/sharp edges or be soft/gradiented, or a mix of both.
Eye colour:
Doesn't affect eye colour.
Skin colour:
Doesn't affect skin colour.
Horn/hoof colour:
Doesn't affect horn or hoof colour.
