Is it possible someday to have a dapple gene I want spots but vivid spots just like dapples but more noticeable on more colours example whites, water colour (could you imagine watercolour spots? OH MY GOODNESS eeEeEE) I know I’m not the only dapple lover.

That would be amazing! I'd totally be all over that lol

Watercolor totally shows dapples (at least sometimes) - I don't own it, but I'm off to find some lovely dappled watercolors to demonstrate. :D

Based on the ones I've looked through, it seems like dapples are possible if the "base" color could have 'em - three of those guys are silver black/brown/bay, the other has S+, and those all regularly show dapples.

Exactly already has to have dapples to see dapples but imagine being able to have dapples on everything that’s my dream

Dappled isn't a gene.

Keep going with your S+, HiddenGenetics.
If you have silver black, brown, or bay, reroll their portraits a few times and see what you get.

Exactly @confluencefarms hence why I said fantasy, I was just having an idea sorry.

@folliesfantasies hom sooty + only works on certain colours and variations to get the dapples. It’s fine just blowing dust around the room is all

Dapples aren't genetic though. In horses have more to do with the circulatory system that genetics or nutrition. (Yes, I breed onyx, watercolor, nexus, and chinchilla. Yes, I know they are fantasy. But still, they aren't real to begin and dapples are real.)
