Bullet; White Overcast creates smokey patches.
Bullet; White In your ketucari's genotype, overcast is denoted by the letters "nOrc" (heterozygous) or "OrcOrc" (homozygous).
Bullet; White In its heterozygous form, overcast has a pass rate of 40%. Homozygous overcast has a 65% pass rate.
 

Color and Shape

Color:

Overcast can be a lighter or 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 lighter. Trailing may never be pure white or pure black.

These colors would be acceptable for this base color. They are either a lighter, darker, or desaturated version of the base. Notice that this small change is not overbearing.
 

Overcast will create 'cloudy' patches across the base coat. Shape wise, it must always be soft edged and irregular but not 'spotty'. They should have a sort of 'natural pattern' and be very dense like an 'overcast' sky. They are often a combination of 'strands and spots' and not a single patch like in Charring or Bleaching. 



Range

Overcast can appear anywhere on the body. It has no minimum or maximum range, but must be immediately noticeable in the design.

Interaction with Other Markings

Bullet; White If a ketucari has both marbling and overcast, it may take on a design similar to clouded leopards with large rosettes of either lighter or darker than base coat color
