Horse Coats

[SplitX]

Need to be sure... XD Okay.


Buddy: Bay Paint


Lightning: Silver Dapple


Ebon: Black Blanket Appaloosa


Moonlit Star: Black (or Smoky Black?)


Lulabelle: Yellow Dun Tobiano (I know this is right, at least. Just wanted to show her off x3)


Creme Brulee: Dunalino (I know this is accurate, but I also wanted to just show her off x3)


Deceit: Perlino


So... All but Creme Brulee & Lulabell need coat confirming. ;3 Please halp? xD

[Lectral]

I'm not Rav, I'm sure she'll be coming later to confirm, but they look right, except for Lightning and Deceit.

Lightning looks like a dapple grey, not silver dapple (silver dapple is a dilution term, that usually results in all black on the horse being diluted to a brownish color - and they often have dapples, but not always.  some can be very interesting shades, though, including a soft greyish brown, but they usually have lighter colored manes and tails than their body - often a silvery white, which is where the name "silver" dapple comes from; in real horses, there has been a lot of confusion and most people have dropped the "dapple" from the title and call it just the silver gene/dilution)

Deceit looks more like a very pale palomino than a perlino - perlino is a double dose of cream, and would usually have blue eyes, and pink skin, so to be a perlino, his nose should be pink

Moonlit Star... she could go either way XD  It is very hard to tell the difference in real horses, and I haven't seen enough of Rav's smokey blacks to be able to tell if she makes them appear significantly different

[SplitX]

Eep! That's actually what I meant; dapple grey. X3

Ooh. Makes sense. Though I DID use a Perlino reference pic, which is why I was unsure. xD

[Lectral]

Can I see the perlino ref pic?  I have been looking for them for some model horse stuff I want to do, and can always use more references!

[SplitX]

Well at least I THINK it was. T_T It might've just been me going on little sleep. x3
-looks through all 74 images in TheStable reference pictures photobucket of mine- XD

[Lectral]

Ooooo, even better!  He's not a perlino, he's gold champagne!  And even better for my model project

He does have the pale skin, though it's not the true pink of a double cream, and his eye isn't blue, it's a light brown/hazel

I don't think that Rav codes the champagne gene, so he is probably coded as a palomino - gold champagnes are often mistaken for palomino in real life, and registered as them, if the registry doesn't have an option for champagne XD

Do you mind if I save that for my reference files?

[SplitX]

No I don't! :3

I was skeptical of him being Perlino due to the fact his eyes weren't blue. I'll ask Ravv what color he really is, then. n__n

[Ravvana]

Lectral is correct on both counts

Lightning is gray, not silver dapple.
Deceit is palomino, not perlino. Because, yes, I don't code champage.

Buddy is bay tobiano, if you want specifics.
Lulabelle's paint I coded as tovero, which is tobiano and overo.

Moonlit Star is black. Nobody has bred or ordered a smoky black yet, so I can't really show an example of that, but I'll do my darndest to make them look visibly different

[SplitX]

>_> Ooh!
So... -ponders- Black + Grey = smoky black? XD

[Lectral]

nope - Black + cream = smoky black

Black + grey = grey

[SplitX]

BAH that makes more sense. o___O; I really need to learn this stuff better. X3

Wait. I HAVE a black & a creame! O_O; Or does Palomino not count as creame? x3

[Ravvana]

Palomino has one cream gene, as do buckskin and smoky black. Cremello, perlino, and smoky cream all have two cream genes.

[SplitX]

So there'd be a chance for a smoky black, then? ^_^

[Lectral]

palomino is indeed cream, as is buckskin (and smoky black) -  single doses/ heterozygous
cremello and perlino (and smoky cream) would be double doses/ homozygous

[YourLoveOnly]

Ravv, I plan on a smoky black one, but I'm unsure if he's smoky black or dark grey >.<
