So I’m looking for some personal opinions (more is better :) )

I currently have a pretty solid watercolor line, but the only fantasy gene on them is the watercolor and it’s starting to feel a little boring to me now. I want to spice it up a bit so I’m thinking about throwing in some fantasy stock with other genes (like nacre, inkspot, toner, platinum, chinchilla, shatterglass, phantoms, etc) and incorporating those into my line.

That’s where you guys come in.
What combinations of fantasy genes do you personally like best?
Are there specific base colors that you find look best with certain fantasy genes?
What white genes do you find show off phantom genes the best? (Especially diamond sparkle, muddy puddles, and lace)
Example horses linked here would be great too!

Here’s a link to the mares I currently have in my watercolor pasture if you want to see what I’m working with: https://www.huntandjump.com/adv_search.php?runsearch=go&jump=0&hpp=50&owner=248567&pasture=44239&56=0&57=0&58=0&59=0&60=0&61=0

Also, complete side note — does anyone breed Ice 10 horses?

I breed my Fantasy's as separate lines. I have Diamond Sparkle, Tobiano Modifier ShatterGlass, Tobiano Modifier JewelBox, Phantom Muddy Puddles, And Critter Tracks. These all Need Tobiano or Splash White for you to see the markings well. I also have Ice 10 and 19.. these also look really cool with Tobiano and / or Splash..
Please feel free to "stalk" my barns to get an idea of what they all look like alone. I know alot of people combine their Fantasy Horses, I think I might be the only one who doesnt on this server? Good Luck!

Paintbrush Prism goes well with Watercolor. This horse has just those two fantasy genes.

And this horse also has Inkspot and Lace.

I love Onyx with watercolor, or one copy of Axiom for a little sparkle. I find WT nice with any base color, but it does have fun interactions with Sty+ and p+.

Ice 16 works really nicely with WT, too. :D

ISP so far I tend to like best on paler base colors.

I only just started WT/toner(/onyx), but I've had some nice interactions so far.

I love how Onyx DFP2 interacts with Wtc and Plaid. I put all the RR genes in my Fantasy lines to get some wild rainbow colors.

Phantoms and Void are fun too.

My favorites are the ones with high contrast and a big mix of fantasy genes, including phantoms, axioms, etc.
I think Tobiano and Frame work best for showing the phantoms.
I especially love how Wrong Warp interacts with all of the other fantasy genes.
These are some of my favorites from my own line:

I love the way watercolor interacts with Axiom and Ice genes the most. It leads to very dynamic and interesting patterns. As far as showing off phantom genes, Tobiano and Frame are the best, but putting W20 with several of the other kit genes will also give you a good canvas.

I also think phantom genes are usually the most striking when combined with watercolor alone without lots of other genes. Because most of them show up in white empty spaces, the horses that have the coolest Axiom/Watercolor/Ice patterns are different than the ones with good Watercolor/Phantom patterns.
