General rules of foal designs


:bulletred:  RULES FOR MUTATIONS CAN BE FOUND HERE: FOAL DESIGNS: MUTATIONS, ANOMALIES, BP, RNG
:bulletred: Only use the OFFICIAL GROUP FOAL LINES, and DO NOT EDIT THEM

 Refer back to How to: Designing and submitting your foal for what edits are allowed.
----------
:bulletred: Do NOT shade or highlight your design; it will distort the colours and may make your foal look too dark or light when your real base colour is acceptable.
:bulletred: Do NOT add dyes, contacts, scars etc. to a foal design; it should be your foal in the most basic form without any extras. You can add these things in the reference image.
:bulletred: Do NOT use old foal designs or import images as reference points. They can give you an idea of the colour, but they are sometimes faulty or made before the current rules were in place.
    :bulletorange: When using real horses as references, remember that Nordanner does NOT follow real colour etc. rules religiously (this is especially important to remember with appaloosas!) and sometimes photographs can/will show horse coats as more brighter, darker, oversatured etc. and also computer screen settings can affect this.
:bulletblue: Remember to write down what kind of somatic/chimera your horse is! You also may NOT change from chimera to somatic or brindle, nor may you change a brindle to a somatic etc. What is given stays, and will not be changed at all.

I've never seen a rule about heterochromia; is that an rng trait, or a non-passable design addition?
The foal in question has the Sabino gene, but I only have moderate white close to the eye, and was hoping to give him sectoral heterochromia due to the sabino genes potentially causing eye changes. He has no mutations that will effect eye color.
Thanks in advance!
