The dapples are part the silver and part random :) All silvers and dark chestnuts/bays (and maybe some more colors? I cant remember) can get dapples if you reroll for them.

W20 should not affect coat color, though.

I just tried testing the silver/DP theory by putting 2 Hom silver black mares to a black liver Chestnut stallion... Results :

Chestnuts... :-w

Foals love testing my patience this season ~X(

All these are at least het. DP

@Monsterpony that's true.
But as the silver dillutes the coat slightly, it *seems* to be that it shows a little? At least on the last one that Herzeloyde posted, I've never seen any silver black so dark so that would prove the theory that DP in combination with silver is visible.
However, we would need to do more tests and thus breed more! :p

I tried to breed some DP Silver Blacks, but I do not have that many that can create silver blacks.
I bred the girls I had to a Freaky Friday stud that is up for public, so they are all het DP. These are the results, 4 silver black foals (1 is silver grullo):

They do not seem that special or super dark to me, only Pick A Floor is a bit darker. However, this is a small trial.
So again: more breeding is needed, but I cannot breed anymore Silver Blacks this season :(

Bambi.. if you sell eggs you know who to message! ;)

This mare has S+, I've rerolled her a few times, she has been mostly the browner color with dapples and one time she was more of a blueish almost mousey gray and no dapples


Scottish Bling Sasa

I've rerolled her picture about 20 times and the one thing I noticed is that most of the rerolls are super dark with about maybe 5 of them looking normal non DP

(you might need to open her page to see the new color if you've seen her earlier)

Oh, she is stunning!!!

I found the full brother of the hom. dp mare, and he is also very dark. He is also hom. dp
