Random. You can reroll until you get a color you like.

I would suggest yes, look for a youngish stud if you plan on possibly adding other genes later.

The beautiful thing is that you can buy the gene and put it on a very young critter and still use semen/eggs off other watercolor or buy mares and start building your herd even the same day.

And I'd even sell you a pack of 6 straws to get you started. 2 from my Foundation. 2 from my G2. And 2 from my G3. :)

Ohh thats exciting. I'll have to wait till next season to breed but its good to know.

I would love to buy some straws from you :)

Will put him up in chat :)

So the color you get is completely random? There isn’t a correlation between the black/red genes or sooty genes and the color? I might be more interested in buying it if that’s the case

I LOVE watercolors now, but at first I didn't see the point. When I started playing I was all, "Pink and green horses? Seriously? Why?" but they grew on me. lol I bought a gelding at auction just because he was a cute leopard appy, then rerolled trying to get more spots on him and imagine my surprise when he went from bright purple to green, too! :)) The fact you can change their color any time you want to for 100hbs makes them fun show ponies that never get old or boring, at least to me. Now I have a nice little string of watercolor show ponies I've picked up as I can, and I just got my first intact watercolor today \:D/ so I can show you a nice variety.

One thing to remember is that any color variations you'd see in a 'plain' horse will usually be echoed in the watercolor version, just in pastel shades. My new colt isn't anything impressive yet, but he's going to get a makeover in a month or two and get spotty. ;) He's a rather plain amber champagne dun base color, so went from pale cream with dark brown legs, mane, and tail to this:

I Vincent Van Gogh

My first love in horses was the Appaloosa and that has carried over to most of my watercolor show ponies. I put MLP at the beginning of their names because they honestly remind me of My Little Ponies, which might also be how many of them got their names. :D

Watercolor on another amber champagne dun, this one with appy and roan:

MLP Periwinkle

Watercolor on silver bay appy. His dam's name is 'Little Rum', so I had to go there. :))

MLP WheresTheRumGone

Watercolor on brown leopard:

MLP Starcatcher

And then there's combining watercolor with other fantasy genes. Watercolor on Ice 2 and Axiom, though the Ice mostly hides the Axiom:

MLP Crystal Lake

And watercolor on just Axiom is always a favorite of mine because the Axiom looks like a snowflake app to me. This one is so colorful because her bay base coat was shaded in a way that shows through with watercolors.

MLP Medley

They're so much fun, I love them! :x I'll shut up now, though. :D

Some of my favourite combinations are the bays with S+ but any of the bays/browns can get some wild contrasts. Any base colours with contrasting areas can come up nice, like duns can look pretty cool too. Less contrasts on a plain chestnut or black base
