Hi,  here is the translation of the French post.

If you have any questions, please let me know!

Here is a classification of the 256 pony colors.

Click on the following image to see the color classification:



These a "normal" colors.

How do hereditary colors work?

- In V1, babies' colors were made of a mix between their parents's colors. For example, the color of a baby who had a yellow coat mommy and a blue coat dad went from yellow to blue including green.
- Now, the baby gets one of his parents' color, chose randomly and with small variants:


(Translation:  Couleur du père = Dad's color
                    Couleur de la mère = Mom's color
                    Couleur possibles de l'enfant = probable baby color)

- The grays in the right column are rare and difficult to get: you can get them from black or white parents, but the probability is not high since black and white parents can have babies which are of all the other colors (light if they inherit from their white parent, dark if they inherit from their black parent). What's more, gray parents tend to have black or white babies.

Now lets turn to other rare colors: the "misty " and "pure" ones.

They have icons related to their rank on pony files:
A square icon for normal colors (example: red):
A diamond-shaped icon for pure colors (example: pure red):
A circle icon for misty colors (ex: misty red): 

Pure colors :

- Pure colors are more saturated than normal colors, they are more bright.
- You can get them when you associate two ponies of the same color. For example when you couple two dark red ponies, you get a chance to obtain a pure dark red baby.
- And, pure color ponies have more chance than others to have a pure color baby.
- If you have a pure pony and you want a pure baby, you should associate him/her to a pony of the same color.
Example: Pure dark red pony + Normal dark red pony

Misty colors:

- Misty colors are desaturated compared to normal colors, closer to gray.
- Normal gray colors are quite rare. To get a misty pony, try and couple a pony with a gray pony.
- And, misty color ponies have more chance than others to have a misty color baby.

A few rules:
- There aren't any pure misty colors.
- If you couple a pure pony with a misty pony of another color, you'll just have a chance of having a misty pony.
- Misty colors are the most difficult ones to get.

We have set up this color system so that one of the aims of the game will now be: rare color hunt. So that you can perpetuate the rare pony genealogy.

Check the differences:

*Normal colors*


*Pure colors*


*Misty colors*

They are not listing as a pure color with a diamond since they are a lack of color & a mass of all colors by definition & cannot have a change of intensity that the computer can recognize. But black & white to players will always be considers a pure shade & tone. At least for me it will.

Is there a color grade scale too, ie, what is the difference between very light say versus pastel?
