Assorted white markings like Piebald and Tobiano. Appears over all other markings.
Bicolor must be white or a very pale off-white. As a color mutation, Bicolor is far stricter on color modifiers than white markings like Thunderstruck, disallowing any bright colors even when modifiers are present. However, as a color mutation that doesn't cover the entire body, it acts as a marking in some cases (mostly involving its shape) - as such, modifiers like Bloom and Penumbra can modify it.
Bicolor should appear anywhere between roughly 40% - 80% of the Rixixi:
Roughly 40%, Roughly 80% (random spots), and Roughly 80% (Van Pattern)
It can look like any kind of genetic white marking existing in animals that fit the marking size - Bicolor markings of course, but also horse markings such as any size-fitting Pinto, Appaloosa, and Sabino, assorted canine white markings like Irish Spotting and ticking on white, and even things like Zebra markings - the list goes on, this mutation is meant as a catchall.
Additionally:
- Showing pale skin tone peeking through areas of thin fur is legal!
- Bicolor does not have an effect on the eye or skin color of an Ixi.
- Bicolor appears over all markings unless otherwise specified by the marking itself (eg. Skypunch).
