Eye color can be vivid in blue, brown, and amber eyed Tokotas, but red and pink
eyes are not acceptable if the Tokota is not albino (see below).

Lavender eyes must have a bit of a "washed out" look, more grey-ish than amethyst.
Candy colored and neon eyes are not acceptable, as well as rainbow and anything
with too many colors to the point where the eye color becomes confusing.

For example:

Lavender eyes should be a bit "washed out" instead of bright/neon amethyst.


Tea red, like on the right, is ok. But blood red eyes are never acceptable.

Eyes can have some very minimal highlights of supplementary colors as long as it doesn't influence the bulk of the iris.

Albinism is the only mutation in Tokotas that can cause pink and red eye color.
With the presence of this mutation, eyes are always light in color, and may also be lavender, pale blue or light grey.

Genetic defect blindness will cause cloudy "blue" eyes.
Blind pupils are light in color, not as distinct as non-blind pupils.

If your tokota is blind by your own choosing, you can also use this effect.

In tokotas, it is entirely up to you to include heterochromia in your design. It can occur on any puppy. 

Like the image above, "sectoral" heterochromia is when the iris

color is divided in random places with a completely different color.

"Central" heterochromia is when the eye has a ring of one color in

the center around the pupil, rather than in random patches of the iris.

In "complete" heterochromia, one eye color will be completely different from the other eye.

As you might have seen, the default eye on the import sheet looks like this:

You are more than welcome to create your own eyes, or use an eye pack created by another member.
Removing the sclera and repainting/repositioning the pupil are acceptable.

An eye can either only show iris and pupil, or show sclera, iris, and pupil.
If you choose to only show iris and pupil (ie. no "whites" of the eyes are visible), there should not be any outline or shading between two areas of the eye (creating a brown iris and a brown sclera).

Sclera must always be white or off-white; it cannot be a lighter or darker color than the iris.

Tokotas can a wide range of skin/nail color options, and it's entirely up to you!
Skin color does not depend on certain markings or genes. The most common skin color is black,
but you can choose from a variety of natural earthy colors, including shades of brown, peach, gray, black, or mottled.
Make sure they're not candy colored, too saturated or white, however!

Albino Flesh

Albino noses, paws, and other flesh should always be pink or light pinkish grey. Albinos lack pigment, so their flesh should never be black, brown, red, or dark!

Lilac Flesh

In addition, the lilac gene will often turn the Tokota's skin grey (optionally,) and
may lend it a very subtle blue or purple tint within the following color range:

---

Blue "Chow" Tongue

This term was adopted in the early stages of the group as a member
description for a grey tongue, which is non-hereditary and permitted as an option on any design.
You do not need to list it in the tokota's information description, and in fact it's preferred if you don't!
Just know that it's nothing special if you see it listed in a design.

Teeth color

Teeth must remain white or off-white, within the following range:

They cannot be colored with anything resembling blood or ink or anything else, without the use of a small or large item.
