Color Study (AC & New Breeds) Discussion Welcome

WILD FLICKA · Post by **WILD FLICKA** » Wed Jun 28, 2017 5:14 am

I have been watching people study colors for the leopard complex, and I think that it would help other players if all the colors were studied. This will allow for us to find which ancient breeds carry which genes so that you can pick which ones to use in order to obtain or stay away from other colors. My hope to is to have a place for all of the ancient breeds and also for the new breeds I am creating. I will also try and track the genotypes on all of my horses to understand them better. Feel free to ask questions and share ideas so that together we can find out more. People that are good at it are also welcome to take parts of this to make better color guides.

I will be using these places to help me get my start in the study

Here will be all of the genotypes that I will be using
Extension-Ee (EE or Ee-Black) (ee-Chestnut)

Agouti-A+AAta (A+A+ or A+A or A+At or A+a-Wild Bay)(AA or AAt or Aa-Bay)(AtAt or Ata-Seal Brown)(aa-Black)

Dun-Dd (DD or Dd-Dun)(dd-Not Dun)

Creme/Pearl-CRcrprl (CRCR-Pink Skin/Blue Eyes)(CRcr-Dark Skin/Dark Eyes)(CRprl-Pink Skin/Blue Eyes)
(prlprl-Pink Skin/Dark Skin)(crcr or crprl-No Creme/Pearl)

Champagne-CHch (CHCH or CHch-Champagne Pink Skin with Freckles/Dark Eyes)(chch Not Champagne)

Silver-Zz (ZZ or Zz-Silver affects Black)(zz-No Silver)

Flaxen-Ff (ff-Flaxen Mane/Tail on Chestnuts)(FF or Ff-Not Flaxen)

Grey-Gg (GG or Gg-Grey out with age)(gg-will not Grey out)

Roan-RNrn (RNRN or RNrn-Roan)(rnrn-Not Roan)

Pangare-Pp (PP or Pp-Pangare lightens hairs in shadow except on Black)(pp-Not Pangare)

Sooty-Ss (SS or Ss-Sooty darkens hairs in light except on Black)(ss-Not Sooty)

Tiger Eye-Tt (tt-Tiger Eye makes Eyes Green)(TT or Tt-No Tiger eye)
(Tt + Champagne or Double Creme-Tiger eye makes Eyes Green/Light Brown)

Metallic-Mm (MM or Mm-Metallic makes coats shiny, look at head)(mm-Not Metallic)

The following genotypes only show as phenotypes if the Leopard Complex is turned on and I will not have all of the genes as there are hundreds that we have not found out.
Leopard Complex-LPlp (LPLP-Leopard Complex turns on other genes,creates Freckled edges in patterns, Varnish
Roan increases with age)(LPlp-Leopard Complex turns on other genes, creates sharps edges
in patterns, Varnish Roan increases with age)(lplp-Leopard Complex is off)

Patterns-PATNpatn (PATNPATN or PATNpatn-Patterns of white are shown)(patnpatn-No Patterns just small
snowflakes)
