Markings and guides belong to Tokotas


Albinism

[Albino, Albinism]

Albinism is a non-hereditary genetic mutation which can occur randomly in any breeding, on any tokota.
Albino tokotas lack pigmentation, thus their fur is a milky white and their skin pink. The eyes are light in color.

Albinism covers most markings.




Color

Albinos coats should be snow white in color, not pink.


On certain ares, the pink skin beneath the fur can show through. This only occurs on areas where the fur is short.
Around the muzzle, eyes, inside the ear, around the groin, paws, elbows, and knees are all acceptable areas.

Remember to keep these pink tones subtle! If they are too neon they will be declined.


The example on the left is correct, while the example on the right is much too saturated pink; this is incorrect.




Flesh 

Albino tokotas should have pink or lightly colored flesh.
Albinos lack pigment, so their noses, paw pads and other flesh should never be black!





Albino + Black Markings, Marbled, Obsidian

Black Markings, including Marked, Extended Marked, Shadowmarks, Extended Shadowmarks, Marbled, and markings affected by Obsidian may optionally show on Albino Tokotas.
These markings must appear as a very light and subtle grey.
They may be hidden under Albino instead if wanted.

Albino + Flecking

Flecking may very lightly show through the albinism, similar to the way Black Markings may show. This is optional.
Be careful not to make the flecking too dark! It should follow the general rules of flecking.





Albino + Color Modifiers

Lilac, Rose, and Moss may lightly tint the flesh and skin colors of Albino Tokotas.
The base should remain white, Keep in mind that this effect must be subtle.

I think there's a typo in the Albino + Lilac section. It says "Albino may lightly tint the flesh and skin colors a pale, dusty blue." Wouldn't it be lilac doing the tinting?
