Basics




Color and Shape

Somatic patches should have irregular edges. Be sure that it doesn't too closely resemble spotting. You may have a maximum of
3 patches on a ketucari. Somatic patches should be more jagged than those of koi patches. The patches may have small holes inside of them.
On ketucari who are bronze, brown, or buff, somatic creates brown or black patches on the coat.

On ketucari who are charcoal, the somatic patches should be taken from the brown color palettes.

On ketucari who are have color modifiers (tint, dilute, vivid, smokey, blended, or flaxen), the somatic patches should be the color that the
ketucari would be without the modifier. For example, if your ketucari is stone with somatic, the somatic patches would be brown. If the ketucari is olive, the somatic patches would be charcoal.
