Harlequin / Ha
Harlequin gene creates irregular black patches all over the centaurs body.
Marking rules
- Harlequin ALWAYS sits on top of all other markings, including free markings. If other genes with same rule are present in the geno, then you can choose which one dominates the other.
- Harlequin patches can cover from 15% to 75% of the body.
- In minimum Harlequin should always show at least 3 patches
- Harlequin should always show the original basecolor underneath it.
- Harlequins color is always black. Centaurs lineart should be clear under the color. It can have only slight hues towards other colors, but should remain mostly desaturated.
- Harlequin patches can travel anywhere on the body, and don't need to be clustered together.
- Harlequin can't be combined with Hue, but it can be Recolored

Marking edges & Allowed edge effects
Harlequin patches must be solid, meaning the patches can't have holes inside them, but they can have complex edges
Use of this color slider is not mandatory. Harlequin patches should always be desaturated black, but not 100% black as linearts need to be visible through the Harlequin color.
