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.

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.
