Recolours the basecoat with the colour representing that month.

Examples above, eg, January Gemcoat is Red, July Gemcoat is Brown, December Gemcoat is Black.

Goes under white markings and mutations. Typically themes mutations with the same colours.

Metalcoat & Gemcoat

These two share the same locus, and there is some interaction:

  • Boucles with Birthstone Bouclite show Gemcoat when present without Metalcoat
  • Boucles with Birthmetal Bouclite show Metalcoat when present without Gemcoat
  • Boucles with Birthmetals or Birthdecors both carry Gemcoat
  • Boucles with Birthstones or Birthdecors both carry Metalcoat
  • A Birthmetal Boucle with Metalcoat and Gemcoat genes will show Gemcoat instead of Metalcoat
  • A Birthstone Boucle with Metalcoat and Gemcoat genes will show Metalcoat instead of Gemcoat
  • A Birthdecor Boucle with Gemcoat and Metalcoat genes will carry both

In simple terms:
Mc = Metalcoat
Gc = Gemcoat

  • Classique + nGc = Gemcoat
  • Bataille + nMc = Metalcoat
  • Classique + nMc = Metalcoat carrier
  • Bataille + nGc = Gemcoat carrier
  • Classique + McGc = Metalcoat
  • Bataille + McGc = Gemcoat
  • Palais carries both genes

IMPORTANT NOTE:
The Gemcoat and Metalcoats are linked to the BOUCLITE type not the BOUCLE type, so on the rare occasion a Boucle has a non-standard Bouclite type (obtained using the Bouclite Swap Praline), eg. a Bataille with a Birthstone, or a Classque with a Birthmetal, they follow the carrier/showing rules of the Bouclite, for example:

  • A Bataille with a Ruby Birthstone who has GcGc or nGc in the genotype will show January Gemcoat
  • A Bataille with a Ruby Birthstone who has McGc in the genotype will show January Metalcoat instead of January Gemcoat
  • A Classique with a Gold Birthmetal who has McMc or nMc in the genotype will show January Metalcoat
  • A Classique with a Gold Birthmetal who has McGc in the genotype will show January Gemcoat instead of January Metalcoat
  • A Palais with a Ruby Birthstone who has GcGc or nGc in the genotype will show January Gemcoat
