Roan (NRo, RoRo)
This marking covers part of the body in a light gradient, with small holes allowing the base color to show through.
Edge
The main marking should have a fully blended edge.
Range
In its heterozygous (NRo) form, it may cover up to 25% of the body.
In its homozygous (RoRo) form, it may cover up to 75% of the body.
Note that the range below is just to show an approximation of coverage; Roan can appear anywhere on the body.
Appearance
Roan is a light gradient marking with small 'holes' which the original base and markings. It must cover all markings except for Piebald, Inked, and Amphi.
If combined with Dapple, it may layer over or under it.
This marking may be any natural color darker than the base coat as defined by the Color Guide.
Roan must 'fade' into the body, making any markings and the base color underneath peek through.
Holes should also not be any larger than Speckled or Starry in size.
They can be of varying opacity, but should have at least a few holes that show the markings/base beneath as they appear without Roan.
