All right, all you RVEC folks... It's here!
Introducing
SydneyandStorm's
Fjord Horse Color Guide
for RVEC!
Please note: This will give away the future colors and genders of this winter's Fjords. If you don't want to know this information, please skip over this post. ^^
This'll actually be pretty brief, so I won't drag it out longer than it needs to be, but because I haven't made all of the colors yet, here they are:
Brunblakk: The most common Fjord color. It is, essentially, a "black" dun.
Rødblakk: A red dun Fjord, which is more or less a brunblakk without the black gene.
Grå: A "grey" dun Fjord, although grey in this sense does not mean it as the grey that changes as a horse ages. A grå Fjord is, genetically, a brunblakk without the gene that limits black to the points of a horse.
Ulsblakk: The equivalent of a buckskin Fjord. It is a brunblakk with one cream gene.
Gulblakk: The equivalent of a palomino Fjord. It is a rødblakk with one cream gene.
Kvit: A discouraged Fjord color and the equivalent of cremello or perlino. It is any Fjord with two cream genes with the exception of grå Fjords, as the grey masks the color. Because it is discouraged, I will not be making one as a foundation and although it may be bred for, it is up to the president of the Fjord breed association to determine whether a horse of that color may enter. Other than that, a kvit Fjord will not be penalized.
Onto the crosses: The foundations will consist of a male brunblakk, rødblakk, and gulblakk and a female brunblakk, grå, and ulsblakk. The following combinations will be based off of these crosses; any second-generation crosses will not be sorted out ahead of time.

Now if you've been paying attention to the numbers, you'll notice that they all add up to 99 -- not 100. That's because of the 1% reserved for birthing difficulties; I just didn't want to freak you all out by making it seem like Fjords are the only ones that can have birthing difficulties c:
Hopefully this helps anyone looking to breed their "dream" Fjord! <3
