Scales / Sc

Marking rules

• Scales can be darker or lighter than the color it sits on top of. Markings color must be similar with basecolors saturation value, sitting naturally with the basecolor or color it sits on top of. The color can be picked from the basecolor slider or natural color slider.
• Scales always features at least 2 colors, the outer edge of the scale and the inner color. 
  Scales cannot exist without the outer line, as otherwise they can be mixed with other genes such as Spots. 
• Scales can be layered under or over other markings
• The minimum requirement amount of Scales can sit anywhere on the centaurs main body, not only where the minimum coverage example sits. In minimum Scales creates 5 individual scale patterns on the body
• In minimum Scales creates 5 individual scales, in maximum it can spread to cover about 75% of the body
• Scales can spread out, they don't need to cluster near each other
• In Dragonic centaurs Scales can color in the separate scales lined on Dragonic imports, all or only some, without showing up anywhere else.
• When combined with Recolor, Hue or Gleam, both outer line and inner color can be affected at the same time, or you can also choose to affect either one, outer line or inner color.
• Shapes, sizes and directions of the Scales can be altered through the design

Scales must remain natural variations of V, U, O and diamond shapes.

Scale clusters can be faded

Scales can have completely closed outer line

Scales can overlap each other

When present in Dragonic centaurs, Scales gene allows to color in the lower scale plates of the body
