If I remember correctly splash M was added to the game to represent macchiato horses. But not 100% sure on this, would have to look back on my PC when I have time.

@MackZ : Splash M can also "Fade" out a horse , so a chestnut might look almost yellow and a black might look like a blueroan
this is a "redroan" and to me he looks more like a Palomino or a cream type ;

Yep, Splash M has ragged patches but also dilutes the coat a bit.

For example, here is a regular hom DP hom sty chestnut horse:

Here is a hom DP hom sty chestnut with splash M:

MS3 SF HypedOverLeafs SF

You can see the faded/diluted patches very well.

Here is a chocolate palomino (hom sty hom DP) with and without splash M:

And here a hom sty Bay with and without splash M:

You can see the patchy dilution very well on her thigh.

Even a regular black gets diluted a bit, you can clearly see the whiter/lighter patches that the Splash M produces:

Add in some KP2 to the mix and the patches of Splash M get really loud and clear:

I really love splash M, so here are a few of my favourites:
DP buckskin i9 base with S+ and WhiteM:

MS4 CHOC LUVVV 15058837

DP buckskin/PRL i9 base:

MS3 LUV 14516655
As you can see here, splash M works really well with phantom genes (in this case Diamond Sparkles).

ND1 DP (brown) Buckskin with S+ (i love the dark dapples combined with the bright white of splash M):

MS2 SPLASH M NICE14795606

Hom Satin hom DP palomino with KP2:

MS4 ST GoldCoated hSAT
To me it seems like the Splash M gives the satin some extra shine and depth haha

I hope this helped you understand Splash M a bit better :)

That is so very helpful, I really appreciate it! And now I have a new gene I want in my lines... @-)
