Design Guide
Hello dear saliko friend, welcome to the Design Guide!
Here you can find everything about our coat types, mutations, markings etc and
what they can do.
​
General Design Rules
Shadow Mask and Legs always have to be the darkest color of all markings
​
Facial markings, unless stated otherwise, are always symmetrical
​
All markings have hard edges and solid colors, gradients are not allowed.
​
Avoid to 'FAKE' other Markings.
​
Always make sure that the base coat is clearly distinguishable and not mistaken for a marking
​
Body- and facial markings can mimic the existing pattern on the Saliko, as long, they do not look
like other existing markings.
​
Generally, all markings and 30% of the base color need to be clearly visible! Only when piebald or merle are present, some markings may be hidden and the base may show less.
​
​
Good to know:
After you picked a base color from a slider, you need to stay in this sliders color range for the rest of the design - but with the markings you may change the hue and saturation a bit, as long as the colors visually suit each other! As soon as a color looks "off", you need to correct your design!
(Pangare, Dun, Champagne, Grey, Cream, Silver)
(Lineart, Skincolor, Claws, Eyecolors, Heterochromia, Blindness)
