Traits

Vibrant is a variation on Dilution Modifiers that occurs when a cat has both a Dilute Cold Modifier and a Dilute Warm Modifier. This gene results in a vibrant color within the range of the cat's original basecoat, and has several variations.

These are basic color palletes for each of the vibrant coat colors. You are not required to color pick these when designing your cat as these are only guidelines! As a general rule, Vibrant Black should be less saturated and much darker than a Vibrant Pigment.

For Vibrant cats with Tabby, they may display in a few different ways:

• A Dilute or Modified Dilute Basecoat with vibrant stripes (ex: Tea with Vibrant Tabby)
• A Vibrant Basecoat with darker, less saturated stripes
• A Vibrant Basecoat with darker, but still highly saturated stripes
• A Vibrant Basecoat with stripes using a different hue of the Vibrant Basecoat

For Vibrant Black, any hue may be used for the Basecoat, but it should stay either relatively desaturated and/or relatively dark compared to a Vibrant Pigment.

You may still have the same variants as above. Examples:

• A Dilute or Modified Dilute Basecoat with vibrant stripes (ex: Gray with Vibrant Tabby)
• A Vibrant Basecoat with darker stripes.
• Vibrant Black (Purple hue).
• Vibrant BLUE - not Vibrant Black.

Compare the last two for a better idea on what Vibrant Black vs. Vibrant Blue using similiar hues should be. Note how Vibrant Black is similar to a purple-tinted grey, where as Vibrant Blue is a fully saturated purple.
