Traits

Free White

Facial markings can range from a tiny little star to a big apron over the face. Free white markings will not turn eye blue if they touch.
Leg markings are a bit more complex, they also have different ways they can appear.

Markings can be regular, irregular, and broken. White markings can also have ermine or distal spots. Ermine spots are a few spots on the leg markings right by the hoof, while distal markings can appear anywhere on the marking. Ermine and distal spots can also appear on facial markings, ermine will typically stick to the edge of facial markings. These spots will typically be only a handful, as to not be confused with Belton Spots.

Free White Range
Yellow is the maximum optional expression.
Red is the area expression is not allowed.

Chestnut base coats are caused by a Beatus having no copies of the extension(E) gene. This causes the coat of a Beatus to be red in color, and their skin to be varying shades of grey. Chestnut Beatus can have any copy of the agouti(A) genes, as it does not affect their coloring.
- Flight feathers and webbing will match the mane color.
- Hoof color tends to be slightly darker than the skin color.

Eye Colors

Bay and Bay variant base coats are caused by a Beatus having at least one copy of the extension(E) and agouti(A) genes. The agouti gene suppresses the extension gene to expressing only on certain parts of a Beatus' body, called points.
Bay has three variants; Wild Bay(A+), Classic Bay(A), and Seal Bay(At). Wild Bay is the most dominant expression of bay and highly restricts the expression of a Beatus' points. Seal Bay is the most recessive, and can sometimes be mistaken for a black Beatus.
- Flight feathers and webbing will match the mane color.
- Hoof color tends to be slightly darker than the skin color.

Black base coats are caused by a Beatus having at least one copy of the extension(E) gene and no copies of the agouti(A) gene. This causes the coat of a Beatus to be black in color, and their skin to be varying shades of grey.
- Flight feathers and webbing will match the mane color.
- Hoof color tends to be slightly darker than the skin color.
- Dark coated blacks will always have skin and hooves lighter than their coats. Lighter coated blacks can have skin that's dark or lighter, but it will always be obviously grey and not black in color.

Flaxen is a gene that is a recessive gene like pearl, meaning it needs two copies to display. Flaxen only affects chestnut-based Beatus and will not show on black or bays.

Flaxen Range
Blue is the minimum required expression.
Yellow is the maximum optional expression.
Red is the area expression is not allowed.
The color of the flaxen will depend on the color of the base. Some chestnuts will have a much paler flaxen if they have a pale base.

Silver is the same as flaxen, but for blacks and bays. It lightens the mane to a more silvery color. Mane and wings will always be affected in the same manner.
- 'Hidden' silver is the minimum expression.
- Silver can cause dapples on the topline, this is much more common in blacks than seal bays. Classic and wild bays will not have any dappling.
- All bay variants can have their points affected by silver and be partially silvered out.
- Blacks can sometimes have their coats altered by silver to sometimes appear almost like a smoky black silver.
- When present with white markings, silver must still be visible when next to any white in the mane.

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

Snowflake | [-sf]

Trait Count - 3

Snowflake is a double expression of appaloosa. It will only show WITH another appaloosa gene, so like nLp(roan-sf) which would be a varnish roan snowflake.
Snowflake shows with mutations that suppress appaloosa genes. It's currently unknown as to why.
Snowflake will reflect the density of the appaloosa present, so a minimal appaloosa won't have a maximal snowflake.

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.

Grease spots is best described as the dark version of birdcatcher and chubari. It leaves dark spots in varying sizes over the coat.
- Grease spots does not affect the mane, wings, skin, and hooves.
