Support. The fact that White is the gene with the highest power combined with it's over 1/3 chance of appearing on a randomly generated pet and also with the fact that the two marking with the highest chance of appearing and the highest gene power lead to a pure white unicorn devalues the species as a whole.

Support.

You can tell there's a problem when the pound is filled with mostly white unicorns.

White should be the most dominant color for unicorns (because that's what everyone thinks of when thinking "unicorn") but it's unnecessary to have multiple colors using the same skin, on any species. 

Perhaps white should be removed entirely as a color, and instead just be a result of a pattern (for all the species). 

Also, I think maybe grey cream should have black legs and mane, like the rest of the greys. (And diluted buckskin should be more like cremello with dark legs too, I think.)

If you play Aywas and would accept BP in return for pets/silver/items, message me! :D

The biggest problem is that white is both the most common and most dominant colour, as well as the two most common and most dominant coat patterns are identical. Spliting White Normal and White Piebald into two different colours (Make one Albino? Give one a gold horn?) would solve at leas some of the problem that at the moment a wild unicorn has MORE than a 1/3 chance of being white.

Okay, I thought I would do some mock-ups of what I think works for the unicorns. (But still think all species should be done. In fact I've reached the point where I think nearly all the dragons and most of the cockatrice need to be made more interesting)


White Piebald - White Brindle

White Cream - Perlino?

Gray Cream - Silver Pangare?

Normal white is normal white. Seriously, it can be left alone.

Those are very nice!

Thank you. :)
If Angel wants to use them, obviously she can. (I don't need to give "permission," it's her art, I just want to make it clear I won't be uploading them as skins any time soon.)

I enjoy doing recolors, they are so easy to do.

Thanks for the suggestion and for the beautiful skins.

I don't mind updating some skins, though I can accept only Silver Pangare for Gray Creme, and it won't have the red pigment at the bottom part of the body as our Grays do not have it at all. Real-life interaction between dilution and gray genes produces a white animal but let's imagine that dilution in this case has only partial effect.

We don't have the real color genetics here and the base colors do not represent the real situation, but let's still keep some basic genetics logic within the "base color - color modifier" interaction. Pattern genes can't have random effects on the different base colors. White piebald will be white in any case because piebald means the presence of unpigmented patches. Cream lightens the pigments (both red and black, we have the combined effect of the real cream and silver genes here) which are absent in white animal, so it will be white too. Right now the only out-of-logic coloration is Blue Roan and, to tell the truth, it should be changed to some kind of gray piebald.
