Trait Count - 2

Pearl is a recessive gene, meaning it needs two copies to display, located on the same locus as Cream. If paired with a copy of cream, you get a Cream Pearl. Pearl dilutes the coat but in a slightly skewed way. Red hairs will turn to a warm apricot color, while black hairs will be a warm, almost red-ish, brown. Pearl is also easily mistaken for other forms of double dilutes.
- All base coats will have pink skin.
- Flight feathers and webbing will match mane color.
- Hoof color tends to be slightly darker than the skin color.
- Adds a shine to the coat.

The shine that pearl adds will affect all markings on the body, mane, and wings. Physical mutations will be unaffected, though.
Pearl shine will not affect the following body mutations; Full Felis, Space Dust, and Steam Powered.

Grey causes the horse to become white as they age. Compared to a normal horse, BAs grey significantly slower. Though, compared to the lifespan of a Beatus it makes sense.
- Skin and hooves are unaffected by grey.
- Flight feathers and webbing will match mane color.
- When present with white markings, grey must still be visible when next to any white.
- Dapples are almost always seen through the stages, and blood marks can start forming at any stage and become prominent towards a BAs final grey stages.
Our guide is influenced by this one over on dA.

Grey Range and Expression
Blue is the area where grey starts. Goggles and the tail are required for the most minimal expression.
Yellow is where grey will express and spread somewhat evenly across the coat.
Red is where grey affects last.

Stage 1
Age Range
Grey will always start at the head. Foals will always have grey 'goggles', these can be pretty faint when they're young. The tip of the tail will also grey early on.

Stage 2
Age Range
Early - 5- 80 years
Average - 50 - 300 years
Late - 100 - 1,000 years
Grey will progress to the inner contours of the body(flank and elbow). You can also start to see dappling at this stage.

Stage 3
Age Range
Early - 80 - 200 years
Average - 300 - 800 years
Late - 1,000 - 5,000 years
Grey will begin to progress from previous points, and dappling will be more pronounced.

Stage 4
Age Range
Early - 200 - 900 years
Average - 800 - 5,000 years
Late - 5,000 - 10,000 years
Grey will to progress further, and dappling still pronounced and visible.

Stage 5
Age Range
Early - 900 - 1,500 years
Average - 3,000 - 10,000 years
Late - 10,000 - 15,000 years
Grey will to progress further, turning the horse nearly completely white. Dapples will begin to disappear, while mane and tail may whiten. Mane and tail can still be somewhat dark at this stage. Joints will be the last area to grey out.

Stage 6
Age Range
Early - 1,500 - 3,000 years
Average - 10,000 - 15,000 years
Late - 15,000 - 20,000 years
Grey has whitened out the whole coat at this point. There may still be areas that are darker, especially around the joints.

Sooty Dust smooths out the texturing in sooty and can also prevent dapples from appearing. It adds smaller flecks and spots that stem from the main part of sooty.
- Mane, flight feathers and webbing will be affected by sooty dust.

Sooty Range
Blue is the minimum required expression.
Yellow is the maximum optional expression.
Red is the area expression is not allowed. Sooty must show at least 10-15% of the base coat.
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.

nTo | ToTo

Tobiano is a common and easy-to-spot paint marking and is a true classic. It's a primarily vertical marking, so it crosses the back quite often. Tobiano is found on the same locus as other Kit Genes(Roan, Sabino, and Dom White).
- Tobianos can have cat tracks, which are small and infrequent spots, similar to belton spots.
- Flight feathers and webbing will be white where markings touch.
- Hoof color will be pink where markings touch.

Eye Colors
Blue
Blue eyes aren't a common feature of Tobiano but can happen on maximum and mixed paint expressions.

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

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.

Roan isn't quite a paint marking but is found on the same locus as the other Kit Genes(Tobiano, Sabino, and Dom White), so it's considered a paint marking. Roan is white hairs mixing with the rest of the coat. It starts from the topline and works its way down, getting less intense typically towards the head, legs, and tail.
- Flight feathers and webbing can be white where marking touches.
- Mane and tail can be white where marking touches.
- Wings and mane can be affected separately by roan.
- Roan can be textured, but it shouldn't be a harsh texture. Any texturing needs to be soft and blend with the coat.
- Roans can have corn-spots, which are small holes in the roan, similar to cat tracks on a Tobiano.

Snowspot is a appaloosa modifier that progresses as a BA ages. It always starts along the topline, and progresses towards the belly.
- Snowspot will always affect the mane, tail, and wings in higher expressions.
- When paired with snowflake, snowflake will also progress and expand on the coat.

When uploading and designing a snowspot, you can optionally include a later or earlier stage than their normal design. This is not required, but do keep in mind that snowspot progresses with age!
