Re: chestnut variations
I think pheomelanin itself can account for much of the natural variation. I mean, it's a pigment, but it's not a color. It can appear pink, red, yellow, brown, etc. The same for eumelanin - it's not technically black - it's a black or brown pigment - presumeably why some black horses don't really appear that black - and it also ranges into the yellow, grey hues too, depending on how much of it there is.
Re: chestnut variations
natural variation, makes sense. But it also leads to the next question, are there factors that influence the degree of variation?
In the same way that [i]factor cream[i][/i][/i] dilutes would factor x cause a lighter shade or darker shade?
Umm, I think I may have repeated what acc said.
Re: chestnut variations
I personally think we will find out there are chestnut modifiers just like there are black modifiers. We just haven't found them yet.
