=====================================
①BGスタンダードの変更(Charcoalの追加)
★Patternとして「Charcoal」が加わり、BGのPatternは(1)Spotted、(2)Marbled、(3)Charcoal Spotted、(4)Charcoal Marbledの4種類に増えます。
★Penalizeに若干の追加があります。
PENALIZE: Spots on body running together vertically forming a mackerel tabby pattern on spotted cats; circular bulls-eye pattern on marbled cats; substantially darker point color (as compared to color of body markings) in Seal Sepia, Seal Mink, or Seal Lynx Point cats EXCEPT in the case of any Charcoal Sepia, Charcoal Mink or Charcoal Lynx Point cats. Any distinct locket on the neck, chest, abdomen or any other area.
★Charcoal PatternはUCDにおいて以下のように定義されています。
71.8.3 Charcoal Tabby. A pattern effect caused by an agouti variant affecting pigment distribution. It is characterized as an increase in dark pigment wherever pigment is already present on the tabby coat. This creates multiple pattern effects on the coat such as darker ground and marking coloration, a broader dorsal stripe, and/or a noticeably darker coloration along the nose bridge and cheek bones, which are accented by near white goggles encircling the eyes. Charcoal is a tabby pattern effect and not a color. All patterns of the charcoal tabby are possible, as are all basic eumelanistic colors. The charcoal effect is the result of the use of the Asian Leopard Cart (Prionailurus bengalensis) in the development of the Bengal breed.
★BGにおけるCharcoal Tabbyについては以下の説明が新たに提案されています。
Charcoal Tabby: The face should include a mask that is dark in color. It should run over the nose and connect at the cheekbones. In addition, the eyes shall be encircled by near white colored goggles. There should be a broad dark dorsal stripe running the length of the back (preferable but not required in the color point series ONLY).
