I currently lack funds for such but I like to plan for the future. Can anyone tell me how watercolor interacts with coat colors and such? I'd like to go ahead and plan a small herd to eventually inject watercolor into.

S+ in browns and silver blacks are my favourite way to go.

Brown S+ is by far more popular than silver black.
Though I breed silver black myself.

If you want bolder colors, him sooty and Hom DP seems to be the trick. Though honestly I don't think watercolor goes wrong with any base color from what I've seen.

My SO is very into bold colors so when I decided to pull the trigger on watercolor, I wanted that boldness. My main line is also silver black pearl, but it wasn't giving me the look I wanted for watercolor. After spending some time in the GMT lounge, I ended up with this little guy that I love!

Yeah I'm trying to figure out where to start for bolder colors. I really like the blue and green shades I see. Is there a way to control the actual shades I get or is there a touch of randomness? But also what causes the full coloring versus the partial coloring?

FallenShadows714 · Jun 8, 2020 6:21 AM

The color you get is random, but you get the strongest shades with S+/DP and any form of agouti from what I’ve seen.

BlackWyld · Jun 8, 2020 9:45 AM

If you really want some fun colour variance adding Onyx is great too.

And if you want super bold I definitely reccomend nexus.

Ah. Okay. That's fun. I'll have to scope out what tickles my fancy. Thanks all.

Timber · Jun 8, 2020 9:50 AM

@BlackWyld watercolor really complements anything that breaks up the silhouette. I didn't realize it's potential with nexus.

Timber · Jun 8, 2020 9:51 AM

Has anyone combined watercolor and diamond sparkle yet?

BlackWyld · Jun 8, 2020 9:59 AM

A few have:

Shiny Sparkles

Dimond baby

DIAMOND AGE WOOT

Mad King

MamaMiaStables · Jun 8, 2020 11:13 AM

Mad King is mine. :) He's a Chocolate Chinchilla with silver black base.

Mad Queen

This is Mad Queen. I'm not done with her yet, but I'm hoping to make her a brown chocolate watercolor. She might get sooty plus if I can save up the GMTs.

MamaMiaStables · Jun 8, 2020 11:33 AM

So I added the brown to Mad Queen and liked it so much I added her brown to Mad King too. So they're both silver browns now.

Timber · Jun 8, 2020 12:46 PM

I had seen Mad King elsewhere on the forum and he's what made me seriously consider picking up watercolor. As I figured, diamond sparkle looks perfect with watercolor.

MamaMiaStables · Jun 8, 2020 4:10 PM

:\"> I'm glad you liked him! Watercolor is really a fun gene to play with, and I love that it only takes one copy to show. That way you can still get regular colored horses as well as really fun colored horses.

pinkie2 · Jun 8, 2020 6:10 PM

Ha my shiny sparkles boy is up there! I didn't realize it was him and my mind was blown that somebody had a horse just like him :D I was actually planning on rerolling for a brighter color and was mildly disappointed in my misunderstanding of how axiom interacts with his other genes. But he'll throw interesting foals!

I have this guy on Mesa and I love him.

It also looks nice with nacre.

Timber · Jun 9, 2020 9:32 AM

Yeah I'm definitely going to get watercolor are some point.

I'm trying to be more organized with my horses this time around. I know I need tons more pasture space, so once I get a bit more Hbs I'll try to buy some from someone. From there I start gene hunting. Depending on whichever is available sooner, I'll be going for thunderstruck or watercolor.

ElementalStables · Jun 9, 2020 10:43 AM

I second that watercolour is awesome with just about everything. Of all the fantasy genes it's one of my favourites because it always looks so unique and interesting - it's never one note or the same.

CeffylDwr · Jun 9, 2020 11:17 AM

To me it's hard to go wrong with Watercolor. I just added it to my newest stud (he's a black liver without the watercolor)

I do love watercolor and Nexus. Throw some satin on there, and yum. This is my favorite of my fantasy stud of mine of all time.

I'm in love with watercolor and ice 13. I have several running in my barn.

Really it’s all preference! I love all the horses shared here and you’ll notice mine are all over the place, because I end up adding a little of everything into the watercolor herd lol

NowandForever · Jun 12, 2020 10:37 AM

I like the blues, purples, and teals the best. I also have an assortment of shades of pink and green with a few other strange colors. I started my Watercolor line with a pair of Vault of Stars so I'm working on removing the w1 and frame from the line because I'm getting too many white horses.
I don't usually cross my Fantasy genes except Nexus, Wrong Warp and the open Ice genes but I do have a few Wrong Warp Watercolors with this one being the coolest:

Most of my favorites are Bay/Brown and quite a few have DP and/or Sty.

I think I just got a candidate for watercolor. I'm gonna put at least one copy of DP and some Sty+ on him. Now to gather hbs and wait for it to come around again.

Watercolour goes with everything lol! My favourites are it with onyx, ic9 and chinchilla, I reckon it will look awesome with the new dun promoter genes too!! It just have amazing contrasts!!

At it's most basic I think it goes best with the browns and bays, lots of colour combinations

But I have it in all my ice lines, and in everything else too lol!
