Traits
Champagne[Ch] (Common)
nCh | ChCh
Trait Count - 1
Champagne dilutes the coat, makes the skin molted, and turns the eyes green in color.
Black and Bay variants will have a dark mane. Chestnut will have lighter manes.
- All base coats will have lighter mottled skin.
- Flight feathers and webbing will match mane color.
- Hoof color tends to be slightly darker than the skin color.
- Optionally can add a shine to the coat. Shine will be less obvious than a pearl shine.
The optional shine that champagne can have will affect all markings on the body and the mane but will go under all BA mutation markings on the wings and in the mane. All physical mutations will be unaffected as well.
Optional shine will not affect the following body markings; Crystal, Felis, Festive, Marrow, Shadow, Steam Powered, Voodoo

Sooty[Sty] (Common)
nSty | StySty
Trait Count - 1
Sooty shares a similar concept to roan, but instead of white hairs mixing with the base coat, it's black hairs. Sooty will always be slightly textured and can be textured quite extremely as well.
- Mane, flight feathers and webbing will be affected by sooty.

Sooty Range
Blue is the minimum required expression.
Yellow is the maximum optional expression.

The black palettes provided are a simple guide, as different coats will likely have different tinted blacks. Though, these guides do set what the darkest possible natural black can be in terms of hex code. Anything that is darker than the palettes will be asked to be changed.
Sooty Examples
Pangare[Pan] (Common)
Pangare || nPan | PanPan
Trait Count - 1
Pangare is a modifier that causes the underside, or belly, of a Beatus, to be lighter in color and even more saturated in color. Dominant pangare has a different expression than the non-dominant expression of pangare, this difference is most easily seen in the effect it has on Black-based BAs.
- Heavy pangare expressions need to have some kind of two-tone pangare present, this can be as simple as adding a lighter gradient by the hooves.
- Pangare will always be a soft gradient.
As stated above, pangare on black has a unique expression. In its non-dom form[nPan] will act relatively normal, lightening the undercoat. In its dominant form[PanPan], pangare will act as it does on bay and chestnut base BAs. This means PanPan on black will always be red hairs instead of lighter hairs like in nPan expressions.
Pan Range
Blue is the minimum required expression.
Yellow is the maximum optional expression.
Red is the area expression is not allowed.
Minimum Pangare Expression
The palettes provided are a simple guide, as different coats will likely have different variations. These guides do show an approximate as to how saturated pangare can be across different coat colors.
Medium PanPan and Maximum nPan Expression
Maximum PanPan Expression
The Demon is displaying PanPan on Black, which is why it's now red in color. The palettes on the min example will come in handy if you're struggling to get a nice color.
Splash[Spl] (Common)
nSpl |SplSpl
Trait Count - 1
Splash is another simple paint marking. As its name may imply, splash makes it look like your Beatus was splashed with white paint. Splash will always start from the legs and belly. Splash will never have textured edges or extremely sharp points/edges.
- Flight feathers and webbing will be white where markings touch.
- Hoof color will be pink where markings touch.
Beatus are not exempt from Lethal White Syndrome, which is where a foal does not fully develop before birth. Three different genes are known to cause this, Splash, Dom White, and Overo.
Splash has 3 variations, each with varying degrees of risks with breeding. You can check what type of splash you Beatus has with an LWS Tester.
- Spl-1 is 100% safe in both nSpl-1 and SplSpl-1.
- Spl-2 has risks in both non-dom and dom forms.
- nSpl-2 has the following risks; 10% chance of deafness, 5% chance of blind and deafness, 85% chance of a healthy foal.
- SplSpl-2 has the following risks; 50% chance of deafness, 25% chance of blind and deafness, 20% chance of being healthy, 5% chance of a deceased foal.
- Spl-3 carries the most risks, in both forms.
- nSpl-3 has the following risks; 35% chance of deafness, 50% chance of blind and deafness, 5% chance of a healthy foal, 10% chance of a deceased foal.
- SplSpl-3 has a 100% death rate.
Eye Colors
Blue, Light Blue
Splash Range
Blue is the minimum required expression. Splash has two minimal variations, the one displayed on the range, along with hidden splash, which is where only the eyes are affected, turning blue.
Yellow is the maximum optional expression.
Red is the area expression is not allowed. Splash must show at least 10-15% of the base coat. Maximum expressions will always have blue eyes.
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.
