Genotype options:

The "allowed range" palette doesn't need to be matched exactly, since shimmer may vary in saturation. It's mainly meant to show the possible hue range.

Allowed range:

Orchid shimmer

Appearance

Orchid shimmer allows any part of the coat, including any markings and patterns, to fully or partially become any shade of red, purple, violet, and blue. Orchid can alter the colour of anything, including eyes, horns and hooves.

Orchid is genetically a combination of Ruby and Sapphire, which means orchid is allowed to be any colour found on both those palettes, as well as purple and violet. Orchid shimmer can be saturated or desaturated, dark or light (pastel), as well as a mix of all.

If no markings or patterns are present then shimmer can not create patterns/markings on its own, it can only fully or partially(gradiented) colour the base coat.

Can optionally have a glittery effect on any area affected by shimmer. The glittery effect should have very small sparkles, not large individual stars or spots.

Shimmer can optionally affect mane/tail where it touches, or affect the mane and tail individually on its own. Can also cause dapples on the coat.

Minimum requirement:

  • At least one trait/pattern/part of the design turned any shade of red, purple, violet, or blue.

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

Allowed:

  • Can fully or partially affect any part of the design.
  • Can use one or more hues available to the palette.

Not allowed:

  • Can not create patterns or markings on its own, it can only alter the colour of any traits already present.

Eye colour: Orchid

Orchid shimmer optionally allows the eyes and/or sclera to be any colour between red, purple, and blue.

Skin colour:

Can optionally affect skin.

Horn/hoof colour: Orchid

Orchid horns and hooves can optionally be any colour between red, purple, and blue. Can optionally be lightened where white markings touch.
