Spaulder
Examples
Basics
Spaulder is a dark marking that appears on the shoulder. In your ketucari's genotype, spaulder is denoted by the letters "nSpl" (heterozygous) or "SplSpl" (homozygous). In its heterozygous form, spaulder has a pass rate of 60%. Homozygous spaulder has a 85% pass rate.Color
Spaulder 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.
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.
These colors would be unacceptable for spaulder. They are either lighter than the base coat or have too drastic a hue shift. They are either lighter than the base coat or have too drastic a hue shift.
Range
Below is the minimum and maximum range for spaulder in which blue denotes the maxiumum range and green the minimum.
Interaction with Other Markings
All markings can be layered under or over spaulder however spaulder must always remain visible. Spaulder can be influenced by vapor, inferno and segment. Bleaching may be restricted to spaulder to cause spaulder to be lighter than the base coat. Spaulder may alternatively be affected by Pale, allowing it to be lighter than the base coat. Spaulder may be affected by Empty, allowing it to appear as an outline or with a cutout.Example of spaulder restricted bleaching
