Minimum Coverage

At minimum Wilde should be displayed as 3 medium sized stripes that can occur anywhere within the maximum range.

Color Modifiers

Color modifiers can, but do not have to, change the color of this marking. It will still be darker than what it sits over unless affected by Tint.

- Blue can give them a blue color
- Wine can give them a lilac purple color
- Champagne can give them a brown or golden color
- Olive can give them a mossy green color
- Grey will affect all lightening and darkening markings and desaturate/lighten them to the same extent that it desaturates/lightens the base coat. Grey can but does not have to fade or soften the edges of hard edged lightening and darkening markings. Darkening markings can be lightened by grey but will remain darker than what they sit over.
- Tint can change the color of this marking to a color from any color palette in the species
