Albino (Color Mutation)

Albino

BigDivider

Albino is a color mutation that turns the base coat color of the beast into a shade of white. The color itself can be chosen freely. It is allowed to create a slight gradient from the top to bottom by picking a second, relevant to the first chosen color.
The new base coat color has an influence on markings, which are relevant to the base coat color, as well! Instead of taking the original base coat color (e.g. Earth, Snow or Suntouched Fawn) as a reference, the colors of the markings have to be relevant to the white picked from the swatch.
As for markings with set colors like Fox or Points, there are two options: the marking keeps its original color or is “ghosted”, so turned very light or cream in color.
Any additional markings that are present in the phenotype are optional and do not have to be added to the design.
The eye color may have a shade of pink or dull red without needing an Eye Changer. The flesh, hooves and antlers are colored with a shade of pink as well. Ursus are the only species which may have a black colored flesh like on real life polar bears.

While Albino has no set swatch feel free to use this one for the base or to “ghost” markings if you feel uncomfortable picking your own colors!

Please open the sta.sh link by clicking on the swatch and save the image, as taking colors from screenshots or copy and pasted versions might influence the colors. This often leads us to not being able to find the corresponding color on the swatch and we have to send your design to corrections!

Design Notes

Markings with set colors
There are two options designing markings with given colors such as Fox or Points on beasts with Albino:
 
– the marking keeps its original color (marking used as example: Fox)
