Designing: Ray

Ray

Examples 

 Basics 

 Ray creates a light, soft edged stripe on the sides of the ketucari, similar to the markings behind the dorsal fin
of orcas.
 In your ketucari's genotype, ray is denoted by the letters "nRy" (heterozygous) or "RyRy" (homozygous).
 In its heterozygous form, ray has a pass rate of 45%. Homozygous ray has a 70% pass rate.

Color and Shape

As far as shape, ray can consist of a single line or a split end as seen in some of the examples above.

Ray must be a lighter 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. Ray may be pure white.

 
 
These colors would be acceptable for this base color. They are either a lighter version of the base, or a lighter 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.

 

These colors would be unacceptable for ray. They are either darker than the base coat or have too drastic a hue shift.

Range

Below is the maximum range for ray.

Interaction with Other Markings

 All markings can be layered under or over ray. It may even be somewhat transparent and bleach out the color of markings beneath it as seen below:


 Ray can be influenced by segment.
Ray can be influenced by colorize.
Ray/Wave may be affected by Empty, allowing it to appear as an outline or with a cutout.

Accents 

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

 Ray may have a subtle gradient like below:

WAVE

Examples 

 Basics 

Wave expands the range and color options of Ray, and replaces Ray in the genotype.
 In your ketucari's genotype, wave is denoted by the letters "+Wa", as in "nRy+Wa" or "RyRy+Wa"
This modifier has a 60% passrate but can only pass with Ray.
