Gecko

Examples

Real life examples:

Basics

Gecko is a series of patches of darkened bands with darkened, desaturated interiors

In your ketucari's genotype, gecko is denoted by the letters "nGk" (heterozygous) or "GkGk" (homozygous).
Bullet; White

In its heterozygous form, Gecko has a pass rate of 40%. Homozygous roan has a 65% pass rate.

Color

Gecko must be a darker color of your chosen base, with a minor deviation in hue. It can also be a fully desaturated color of the base, as long as it is darker. Gecko's outlines may be pure black. The interior is always a desaturated color of the base, as long as it is darker; it can be fully desaturated.

These colors would be acceptable for this base color. They are either a darker version of the base, or a darker and desaturated version of the base. The last color on the right shows a minor deviation in hue, and is slightly more yellow than the base itself. Notice that this small change is not overbearing.

Gecko can come in patches originating from the top of the ketucari

Lines may be open, and have minor breaks in them.
The interior can fade into the base.
There must be distinct bands separating the interior from the base.

Gecko may go horizontal. Be sure there are points connecting the marking to the top of the ketucari.

Range

There is no range to Gecko, but it must be immediately recognizable.

Interaction with Other Markings

Gecko must go over all markings except silvering, fading, and white marks; but colorful markings such as Hued Points and Frill can show through gecko.

Gecko may be affected by Segment

Accents

Here are some small accents you can add to your designs to make them more unique!
