It's super early so this may end up phrased terribly or make little to no sense. I'm sorry. OTL I've also searched in an attempt to find a duplicate topic and had no luck but as I said. Pudding brain. Anyway.

In many cases of high white animals, the genes that cause the white spotting also cause one or more blue eyes. Something about lack of pigment translating to the eye as well. I think. In any case.

My suggestion is to, in certain piebald variations in which the white goes over the eye (such as broken or mosaic) have the white masked eye display as blue. This would not be genetically passable, purely aesthetic, as it would be linked to the piebald gene and therefore would not show in any non white spotted offspring.

I think it would be a fun touch of realism to my favorite mutation and maybe even add more value to piebald lions. Either way, it would be super cute.



This suggestion has 243 supports and 5 NO supports.

There's already the display of the noses etc that get covered with the piebald mutation that lose pigment, so this seems right along the lines of that and would be nice imo c:

I'm not entirely sure on this, because I know of more than a few people who breed Piebalds specifically so that they can have a monochrome/black and white/gold and white/etc heir, and they tend to do it for certain color palettes. Blue eyes might clash with the palette they chose, so piebalds that covered the eyes would become less popular.

If the eye color was the normal blue, then I'd definitely be disappointed myself, though if it was something more like Crystal, it might look a little better.

I'd say it should get its own special blue shade, and honestly, I'd love the piebald mutation all the more if it had this added. At the least, I'd like it if they made it so there's a convenient little spot of not-piebald around the eyes :/

I love the idea! I think it should be a marking only eye color, so not the normal blue or even the normal crystal, but something realistically light blue. Or even the typical variations of blue that come with albinism: Pinkish, Blueish, and a Lilac-y Blue
