Champagne

Champagne, nCh or ChCh, is a dilution gene that lightens the coat in a similar manner to cream, but causes a vibrant sheen to the coat. It also lightens the skin to a pink, mottled tone that often shows around the muzzle and eyes. Eye colour will always be a light amber or hazel. This gene affects the coat in the same way, regardless if it's heterozygous or homozygous.

There is a free to use layer in the template for champagne. It can be coloured a lighter shade of your base coat. You may make your own champagne sheen, but it should not be too bright, create a glow, or use luminosity effect.

The geno code for champagne is written as:
nCh or ChCh

CHESTNUT + CHAMPAGNE

'GOLD CHAMPAGNE'

A very pale, isabella type of dilution. The key difference between an isabella palomino and a gold champagne is the gold sheen to the coat and the mottled pink skin.

Gold Champagne may also come in a uniform, rich copper coat known as "self" gold.

The mane and tail may be slightly darker and the skin will remain a mottled pink.

BLACK + CHAMPAGNE

'CLASSIC CHAMPAGNE'

A light charcoal, similar to grullo, with red undertones. Legs tend to be darker than the body.

BAY + CHAMPAGNE

'AMBER CHAMPAGNE'

An amber coloured coat with legs that tend to be darker. Wild bay will be visually the same, with the dark leg points restricted to the ankles.

MEALY BAY + CHAMPAGNE

SABLE CHAMPAGNE

Darker and more muted than amber champagne, this coat has a cream coffee colour with legs that tend to be darker.
