Fewspot appaloosa covers the body in white and has spots showing the base coat, very similar to leopard appaloosas. The difference is fewspots have less spots, but also have three areas where you'll see the base coat. They will have textured edges on these areas, they can be different sizes, but there will always be at least three obvious spots of these gaps.

Fewspot Range
Blue is the minimum required expression.
Yellow is where a decent majority of spots are.
Red is the area expression is not allowed.
The white palettes provided are a simple guide, as different coats will likely have different tinted whites. Though, these guides do set what the palest possible natural white can be in terms of hex code. Anything that is paler than the palettes will be asked to be changed.
The below palettes go as white intended for a black - bay - chestnut from left to right. Warm coats will have warm toned white, while cool tones will have cool toned whites.

Peacock | [-pc]

Trait Count - 3

Peacock causes the spots and speckles of any leopard complex gene to have a halo of contrasting color, most typically white. Due to these halos mimicing the look of peacock feathers, it was coined as peacock when it began popping up in BAs.

Birdcatcher spots are simple white spots across a BA's body. They are similar to snowflake but differ in the fact they are their own standalone gene. Snowflake and birdcatcher spots do interact and can make a very spotty appaloosa.
- Birdcatcher spots do not affect the mane or wings.

Birdcatcher
The absolute minimum number of birdcatcher spots is 2, these can be on the off-side from the import sheets, but must be stated when submitting designs.
The Angel displays both the minimum and the smallest size birdcatcher spots can be.
The Nephilim is displaying both a more maximal expression and the biggest size spots can be.

Chubari spots, sometimes misinterpreted as inverse appaloosa, is a gene that displays as large spots across the body. These spots are never small, and love to bunch up and layer over one another.
- Chubari spots affect the mane, wings, skin, and hooves where they touch.

Chubari
The absolute minimum number of chubari spots is 2, these can be on the off-side from the import sheets, but must be stated when submitting designs.

Vitiligo causes a BA to lose pigment in their skin and fur, similar to in humans. Foals will have next to no, or no visible spotting, as vitiligo develops with age.
In BAs, vitiligo stays around where there is exposed skin on the body, so the eyes, mouth, nose, etc. Eye and mane are unaffected by vitiligo.
Vitiligo spotting tends to start on the face and groin area of a BA and is always white in color and turns the skin pink.

Vitiligo General Range
Blue is the minimum required expression.
Yellow is the maximum optional expression.
Red is the area expression is not allowed.

Erythrism | nEry | EryEry

Trait Count - 4

Erythrism is an over production of red pigment in the coat, turning all of the hair red in tone. Erythrism BAs will have green eyes and their skin won't be a different color from a non-erythrism BA.
-Mane will be the same color or slightly darker.
-Erythrism is affected by dilutes and will show all other genes.

Eye Colors

Leucism | nLeu | LeuLeu

Trait Count - 4

Leucism is an under production of melanin in the coat, but not to the point of albinism. Leucism BAs will have blue eyes and their skin won't be a different color from a non-leucism BA.
-Mane will be the same color or slightly darker.
-Leucism is affected by dilutes and will show all other genes.

Melanism | nMel | MelMel

Trait Count - 5
Not currently orderable

Melanism is similar to albino but has the opposite effect. It disrupts the production of melanin but in the way of causing the coat to overproduce and become extremely pigmented, causing dark black and brown coats. This also affects the eyes of a Beatus with melanism, causing them to have very dark-colored eyes. The only part of a melanistic BA that isn't darker, is their skin. Their skin will be slightly lighter than their coat color.
- Flight feathers and webbing will match mane color.
- Mane can be slightly darker than the coat, it will never be lighter though.
- Hoof color tends to be slightly darker than the skin color.

Melanism also affects BA-specific mutations. Mutations that are black will not display on the coat at all. Mutations that are light in color, like Zebra, will display very faintly against the coat. Mutations that are colorful, like Peafowl, will display but be extremely dark in color.

Eye Colors
Dark Brown, Dark Orange, Dark Yellow, Dark Green

Corrupted Piebald | nMel | MelMel

Trait Count - 5

Corrupted piebald, or partial melanism, is similar to piebald but has the opposite effect. It disrupts the production of melanin but in the way of causing the coat to overproduce and become extremely pigmented, causing dark brown, almost black coats. This also affects the eyes of a Beatus with melanism, causing them to have very dark-colored eyes. The only part of a melanistic BA that isn't darker, is their skin. Their skin will be slightly lighter than their coat color.
- Flight feathers and webbing will match mane color.
- Mane can be slightly darker than the coat, it will never be lighter though.
- Hoof color tends to be slightly darker than the skin color.

Piebald is a partial expression of albino. So instead of the entire coat having disrupted melanin production, it only happens in certain areas. Piebalds will also have red eyes if they have a lack of pigment around their eyes. Their skin is always pale pink, and their hooves only a tiny bit darker.
- Flight feathers and webbing will match mane color.
- Mane can be slightly darker than the coat, it will never be lighter though.
- Hoof color tends to be slightly darker than the skin color.

Piebald also affects BA specific mutations. Mutations that are white will not display on the coat at all. Mutations that are dark in color, like Zebra, will display very lightly against the coat. Mutations that are colorful, like Peafowl, will display but be extremely pastel in color.
