Opal Mutation
Opals have a normal uniform back and a high amount of white. But it depends on how much the Opal is extended. The white covers a bit of the snout, muzzle, cheeks, chest legs, belly. The 2 colors from the opal mutations are aligned to each other with a few freckels here and there. The eyes of the Opal are not set to anything. They can have any eye color there is for the Volbur. Most of the time it are similar to the coat color they show.
Regions
-
Red - can be of any color
-
Blue - can be of any color, usally to mix well with the Red region
-
Black - for a tradional one it stays black, but can mutate
-
White - traditionaly white, but can mutate
Genetics
The genetic alleles are labled as "O".

Double Mutations
As the name says it, these mutations can only be achieved if 2 mutations are combined. Only 2 at the time can be combined, without counting the natural state.
Yes, the natural state gene has to be present again in order to express any of these.
If it is missing, it is considered an Omitt.
These are again only guides on how they can look like as fully doubles. They can slightly differ if one mutation is not fully active. You can read more about it here in "Natural State".
