So I've always mixed my fantasy line with Nexus and Axiom because it leads to a dark background that is perfect for the fantasy colors. However, unless there's a workaround I'm not seeing I won't be doing that anymore. :-& This ugly grey color is what they look like now. With before and after pictures.

It might not be a popular opinion but I like the grey color :)

I like the gray color of some of my nexus horses, but I also wasn't expecting my nexus void horses to change in this way. I really liked the blue/purple base coat with white markings, but now they seem like normal colored base coat but with a gray/black film over the whole horse?

At this point, I'm not sure this is how their coloring is supposed to be presenting. Once Ammit finishes tweaking everything, I'll revisit these foals and make my decision then. I definitely prefer the Aurora look they had before though.

I think she commented they wouldn't "overwrite" each other any more.. dunno if this is the expression of what she ment though

ETA: Additional Updates
On top of the above updates there are a bunch of small updates you should also be aware of.

-Axiom and Nexus used to cancel each other out. They no longer do.
-Some pinto horses had overly bright blue eyes. I took away their spice so they now had normal blue eyes.
-The lowest expression of roan has been increased so you will get fewer roan horses with no visible roan.
-Often tails were brighter than manes, this has been rebalanced so mane and tail are more equal in shade.

@annismyrph I read the update on axiom and nexus no longer canceling each other out, but my horses are hom nexus and they still changed. I tend to agree it looks like this can't be the intended expression, but maybe a side effect of the update making nexus and axiom work together properly.

@Cavalynn ; it states in the discription of the gene : Axiom Nexus(X) produces subtle stars with one copy and creates a vivid blue-gray space appearance with two copies. Colored Axiom does not combine with Nexus. Space patterns are random.

I can't help but think its supposed to be gray when its HOM?

@annismyrph Maybe... but it was always inverted colors before. Reds became blue, and blacks became light gray. I guess we'll just have to wait and see.
