Hotspots are locations where a marking is often located or concentrated. You do not need to fill all of a hotspot's range, or every hotspot with the marking, as long as some of the marking is present on a design. Yellow is generally where a marking is most concentrated, where red is least, that doesn't mean you can't fill that space or go outside of the hotspot area!
Ranges are a bit more specific, showing where a marking may be restricted to. While we have ranges, as long as a marking is generally in the range, or even slightly outside of that range it won't get corrections. Try to keep ranges in mind when designing.
Minimum or Min is the minimum area a marking should show up, there should be at least 1 min area filled with a marking. Max is the maximum area a marking can fill as a single copy or heterozygous allele, ex nSd. Dom is when you have 2 copies of a gene, such a SdSd, when this happens the ranges can often be extended farther or have special design rules or options you can choose from!

Unders is a marking that spans the ventral side of an algolope, usually seen on the furless areas of the neck, belly, and vent. Usually this color matches the coloration of the legs, though it can be a lighter or darker coloration of the base pelt. Unders is restricted to the 'Skin' layer of the file. Any designs or genos prior to 2018 may replace Unders with any other common marking when submitting for approval. Please note this in the Notes section of the form.
Using Natural Accents Colors:
These colors can be used for the Minimal Accents marking, as well as for any markings that allow 'Natural Accent' colors. These colors can also be used for skin and pawpads if natural to the design. Colors should not be overly bright or saturated.
You may use the mini color slider or the extended palette. Pink Accents can be used for white areas where skin shows through, you can also pick pink and tan tones that are natural to a design. Do not use overly saturated pinks if unnatural to a design.
Accents should not be overly saturated or contrasting to a design and should appear natural to a design overall. High contrast or overly saturated natural accents may be rejected.
Coloring Lines:
Lines should be darker than what they sit on, as well as being a related color to the underlying color. Make sure if you color the lines that they are not too bright or saturated. White should be cream, not pinks if not sitting on pink skin for example.
Special Marking Modifiers
'-' - Reversal Gene
Reversal is marked by a - after the gene code. This gene turns normally white or light markings dark, or vice versa where dark marks turn light. See marking rules for specifics.
't' - Tan
Markings with 't' or tan modifier add a rusty red or orange coloration to the marking. Often found on points, or merle+t.
'+' - Additional Color
The '+' gene adds an additional color to the marking, often found in merle, but may be present on other markings if carried.
'Ac/AcG' - Accent Gradient.
A Marking Modifier, with just 'Ac' a Natural Accent color can be added underneath or in the marking. With 'AcG' an unnatural accent color can be used underneath or in the marking, for example, blue, yellow, green.
Most commonly found with Pinstripe.
'G/+G' - Gradient
Some markings can have additional Natural colors added to the marking. Such as Lynx.
