Usage[edit source]

name
the title of the article or the non-disambiguated name of the color.
image
the image name without File: and without any code. The color/pattern should be illustrated as clearly as possible, without interfering dilutions/patterns playing around. A middle expression of a pattern is probably the best choice.
image_alt
a description of what is in the picture. Avoid jargon.
synonyms
include all mainstream synonyms used for the color. If UK English and USA English use commonly different terms, both can and probably should be included as equals, separated by a comma and with no brackets, designated US/UK as applicable.
variants
names of color variants discussed in article (i.e. red roan, blue roan, etc.) or obsolete/obscure names
base
should include the base color genotype of the color (only the locuses A or a and E or e). Use bolding to highlight and to indicate multiple requirements for the color. <sup></sup> to mark the alleles if needed. For example: EE or Ee and AA or Aa.
modifiers
include the modifying locuses and alleles for the color. Use bolding to highlight and to indicate multiple requirements for the color. <sup></sup> to mark the alleles if needed. For example: CCrCCr or CCrC and DD or Dd.
description
include the name of the base color (= black, chestnut, bay) and the modifying factors. For example: black + cream factor. Saying "factor" or "allele" instead of "gene" might be better.

The descriptions of the color should be worded so that any horse of the color/carrying the color allele fits in. In case of "picky" genes, dilutions for red and black pigment should be described separately, as in "black pigment diluted to dark grey or dark chocolate brown. Red pigment not affected".
body
describe the color of the body, which includes torso and neck
legs/face
describe the color of the legs (and if applicable, of the hooves), and head/face of the horse, if different from body
mane/tail
for describing the mane and tail, if different from the body
skin and eyes
should be easy, noting if the gene influences these. For skin, "dark except under white markings present at birth" is a good general answer.
other
for any other stuff about the color/allele that is consistent. For example, a mention about the dark scars or "corn marks of roans could be included here.

Separate multiple values using {{flatlist}} or {{plainlist}}.

Examples[edit source]

Gray
A gray horse with a saddle, being led
A gray Lipizzan horse
Other namesGrey
Variants
  • dapple gray
  • flea-bitten gray
  • iron gray
  • rose gray
Genotype
Base colorAny
Modifying genesGraying gene (G) dominant when single allele present
Phenotype
BodyBorn any color, progressively lightens with age until completely white, flea-bitten form may develop red hairs in a freckling pattern throughout coat, sometimes increasing with age
Head and LegsMay not gray at same rate as body, head may be first part of body to lighten, legs may be among last parts of body to lighten
Mane and tailMay not gray at same rate as body, lighter or darker
SkinUsually black, except under white markings present at birth
EyesUsually dark brown, unless base color affected by other genes which lighten eye color
Other notesDominant over all other coat colors, when gray gene is present, horse will always become gray, may be masked if horse's base color is white
