Genotype options:

Appearance

Marble appears as darker veiny stripes similar to marble stone patterns or wood grain.

Marble should always be darker than the coat (anywhere from slightly darker to complete black), and can optionally have lighter accents appearing as stripes and/or filling in some of the marbled areas. The marble pattern can optionally outline other patterns or white patterns.

Always goes below white patterns.

Minimum requirement:

A thin vein-like line anywhere on the body, or outlining a pattern or white pattern.

Minimum requirements can be reduced or completely removed by the occlusion trait.

Allowed:

Can optionally affect mane and tail where it touches.

Not allowed:

Eye colour:

Doesn't affect eye colour.

Skin colour:

Can optionally affect skin where it touches. Dark patterns should darken skin while light patterns should lighten skin.

Horn/hoof colour:

Can optionally affect horns/hooves where it touches. Dark patterns should darken them while light patterns should lighten them.

Modifiers

Bronze turns patterns into a light and/or rich brown.
Flaxen turns patterns creamy white or lighter than the base coat. (only affects chestnut-based (ee) coats)
Silver turns patterns white or lighter than the base coat. (only affects black-based (EE or Ee) coats)
Chromatic can change the pattern's brightness and/or saturation.
Grey can leave the patterns unaffected (doesn't grey out), or leave the entire body unaffected and only the patterns grey out.

Mutations

Astral can cause the patterns to become starry/sparkly, in any colour.
Aurora can cause the patterns to glow in any colour.
Eclipse can cause the patterns to have an eclipsed outline/border.
Opulent can make the patterns appear metallic/shiny and a golden/silver/copper colour.
Primal can cause the patterns to be the same colour as their elemental alignment.

Shimmer

Shimmer can turn the pattern into any colour available on each shimmer's palette, depending on which shimmer is present.

Partial interactions

If your Veilhorn has Modifiers, Mutations, or Shimmer that can alter the colour of patterns, the effects can be applied either fully or partially. See the list above for which traits can alter the colour of patterns.

The examples below show Flaxen (a modifier) interacting with Pard (a pattern) and Papilio (a pattern), but the principle applies to all patterns. These examples are not exhaustive, you can choose how much the pattern is affected.
