Harlequin is a white marking that presents as a series of vaguely diamond-shaped markings connected at the corners.

Harlequin tends to "radiate out" from a single place, with rings of connected diamonds all pointing towards one point, usually the poll or the croup.
Diamond markings vary in size but must be no smaller than the horse's eye and no larger than the horse's head.
Diamonds may be disconnected from the rest of the Harlequin pattern as long as they are oriented in the same direction as the rest of the marking.
Most diamonds should be connected, however "breaks" or gaps in rings of diamonds are acceptable.
Harlequin markings will never have jagged edges, holes, or spots.

Genotype: Hq_
Locus:  Not shared with any known genes

• Coat: Harlequin is a white marking.
• Mane and Tail: White where touching marking.
• Skin: Pink under marking.
• Eyes: Can cause blue eyes.
• Hooves: Not affected.

Range:

• Minimum: Two white diamond-shaped markings connected at the corners. The diamonds must be somewhere on the barrel or neck, and must be at least the size of the horse's eye.
• Maximum: A pattern of diamonds that covers the entire neck, head, barrel, and hindquarters. Up to two legs (either both forelegs or both hind legs) may have diamond markings.

Interactions:

• Chimera & Somatic: Chimera and Somatic markings have an unusual tendency to "fill" the spaces between Harlequin diamonds. Additionally, horses with both Harlequin and the Chimera anomaly can sometimes display two different colors of Chimera markings.

Fewspot is a white marking that covers the body, with the base coat barely showing through at all.
Only a small number of spots are possible, and should be mostly located on the hocks/knees, fetlocks, groin and elbow areas.
Color around the muzzle and eyes is possible. Spots should never be larger than the horse's eye.

Opal on Chestnut Tobiano

Opal on Chestnut Overo

Opal on Dominant White Chestnut

Opal causes colorful pastel flecks on white markings.
Opal will always cause randomly-placed colorful flecks of no fewer than 3 different colors.
Flecks should be no larger than the horse's eye, and should cover no more than half the surface of white markings.
If mane/tail are affected by a white marking, Opal may color strands it touches.

• False Leopard: Opal is optionally invisible on False Leopard. If you choose to show Opal on False Leopard, the colorful flecks must be the same as other present white markings, but with lower opacity to match False Leopard.
