Champagne [Ch]

Color Modifier

Rarity: Uncommon

Champagne is a base coat modifier that slightly lightens and saturates the original base coat to a natural warm golden or peachy color. The base coat should always fall into its visually distinct ranges and not mimic another base coat with champagne. It is based on the champagne and cream dilutes in horses.

Champagne alters all markings (other than white) to a similar warm golden hue. White markings should still remain a natural white. Black may still appear black on a champagne coat, or they may become a darker version of what they sit above.

Champagne with Blue creates the Olive Interaction

If Champagne and Blue modifiers are both present, the result is olive. See the linked journal for more information. Olive overrides all information from the Champagne journal if it is present.

Champagne With Other Base Color Modifiers

Champagne has no specific interactions with other modifiers. If Champagne and another base color modifier (Wine) are present, the designer may choose which one of these to display. All will remain present in the genotype, and can still be passed on to offspring.

Base Coats

Examples seen below are options. You are not restricted to these, but should stick within the same darkness value and they should always be golden or peachy in color.

Flesh and Eye Color

Skin and Flesh: Champagne will always alter the Rukaan's skin and flesh to a natural pink. For more information, please refer to skin and flesh journal.

Eye Color: Champagne will normally cause green eyes, but this is not required. See Eye and Flesh journal.

White Champagne Shades

Examples

Note the pink flesh color caused by champagne. This affects nose, visible skin, and ancient element hooves.

Effects on Ancient Element

Ancient element can optionally be mildly affected by color modifiers. Champagne can give the ancient element a slightly champagne-like appearance but can be no more saturated than the base coat. The ancient element should still look natural in the context of the design.
