Yes base color and markings can majorly chance the final look particularly with nexus.

Thanks! Yeah, I noticed some cool purple (blue and red) and green (yellow and blue) combinations in the search. It's good to know that nexus works a little differently. I can see what Ammit mentioned about nexus horses also really being influenced by the horse's base colour.

I suppose the thing I am still a little confused about is how the underlying genes affect a homogenous axiom horse that has the red, green or blue. All of the horses I've searched so far don't really seem lighter or darker depending on sty or no sty or impacted by other genes like bay, cream, dun, etc. I also tried with the Kit white genes and Splash. They just seem dark black with the corresponding axiom colour on top. Even with silver, it seems like some have the light grey mane and tail but others still have a black mane and tail.

So taking this horse as an example, it would normally be a flaxen chestnut with a bunch of white markings, but it looks black underneath all the blue stars and the mane and tail are black. Am I just missing something?

Are black based R/R is there a specific interaction that causes the difference or is it just chance?

I've found Axiom can be slightly unpredictable personally. Here is my girl. I expected axiom to completely cover everything. She is hom splash 1, hom axiom blue, het ice 9, het tobino, het appy, het patn1. Also toner/ink spot, het watercolor and hom onyx
