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.

Trait Count - 1

Snowcap is more or less the solid version of spotted blanket. It covers about the same area, its edges can be harsh or soft, but will never be a full gradient.
- Skin can be molted and hooves can be striped.
- In breeding nLp[snow] will become nLp[spot].

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

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!
