I just turned my macchiato Freaky Friday filly into a wild bay and she is such an unexpected color. She's kind of a dark honey color, on my phone at least, instead of the nright blood bay she would normally have been. I knew she would be diluted a bit from the macchiato, but i didn't know how much. I think she quite pretty, although I still have plans to do more gmt work, and I wouldn't be too disappointed if I can't finish her.

She’s really pale! Very cool

She looks great :)

Wild bay is so fun!

Must be the Macchiato. Macchiato does lighten up certain colors. She is gorgeous - a combination of two of my favorite genes!

I also noticed that the comparable foundations were either sooty wild bays with no DP, silver, or pearl. So not really comparable. :)

It is still sort of comparable if you know your wild bay colors.

Here is a normal Hom Sooty No DP wild bay from my discussion.

And here is a Hom Sooty No DP wild bay buckskin from my comparison discussion.

Clearly Macchiato acts very similarly to adding a copy of cream on dark wild bays.

That's a very neat observation. I wonder if macchiato acts on other colors the same way, or if wild bay is just funny. *off to examine horses*

Your filly is beautiful!

Macchiato can definitely do some significant lightening. I added it to my non-sooty chestnut guy and he came out like this:

Before the update, he was a very similar color to this lady:

I was really surprised!
