The base coat might be too light for the diamond sparkles to really show. Also, it's kind of faint, but it looks like there's not enough of the splash expressing with a white factor of none.

Well, it's hard to tell because the base coat is so light, but it looks to me like the legs are very faintly light gray, so there's no splash markings there, I think. If it were me, I'd try removing either the cream or the pearl, which should darken the base coat. Then I'd change the white factor to get the splash expressing the way I wanted.

You have 2 dilutes which creates an almost white horse.. I actually breed for double dilute Chinchilla and you barely see any white markings... this is one of my double dilutes with Homozygous Kit M...

You can also try changing his Agouti to be Homozygous aa (change the A to an a making the horse a silver black). It'll bring out the white markings.

You also want a higher white factor with Diamond Sparkle.

I removed the cream, but it's still not working. I have a couple other horse colored like this, they do pass it on to their foals, but I'd kinda like even a bit to show. As for white factor, I really don't want to have to change it 3 or 4 times guessing.

No you won't lose the dapples but his splash markings will become more dynamic. Making him Homozygous splash 1 will bring out even more white.

I would do anything from Homozygous SW1 with medium WF and up.. here's some examples

Homozygous SW1 with extensive WF


Splashy Creme 3G

Heterozygous SW1 with extensive WF

Homozygous SW1 with large WF

Thank you everyone for your advice and for explaining well. I've got this page bookmarked. I think it's time to get a notebook.
