Traits

Name: Pearl

Base Genotype: prlprl (on the same locus as Cream and Champagne)

Skin Color: Turns skin pink, regardless of base coat. 

Eyes: Turns both eyes blue, unless a horse has an eye color gene such as Oracle, Arcane, or Tiger eye. If an eye color gene is present, it takes precedence and is visible. If an eye color gene is present, the designer has the option of choosing both eyes to take on the eye color gene, or just one (heterochromia).

Description: Pearl lightens all pigments in the coat, and is a recessive gene. This means two copies of pearl (prlprl) are required for it to be visible, or CRprl or CHprl will cause the horse appear as a double dilute very similar to double cream. When a horse carries one copy of pearl (prln) the coat is not affected. Pearl has several names for it's variations, which can all be searched on for real-life references: 

• "Apricot" : a chestnut horse with double pearl
• "Bay Pearl" : a bay horse with double pearl
• "Black Pearl" : when a black horse has double pearl

Design Guidance: Double cream lightens the horse to an extreme degree and should have a slight yellow tone. It will make all hooves light in color. Double cream does not make horses pure white. Horses may have slighty different variations of the examples below, but not by much. Colorpicking is encouraged. Cream does interact with Grim and Ember; see dilution guides on their respective trait pages.
