Description
Damao
Damao (Dm) is a dominant white pattern gene that causes a band around the mid-section. The band begins on the belly and spreads upward. If there's a full band, white also begins to spread across the face and down the neck, leaving only the eyes, ears, legs, shoulders, and hips colored.

Damao allows natural and mutation white to show as usual.

A NOTE ABOUT VISUAL GUIDES
Zhoruka visual guides offer general guidelines for colors, patterns, placement of markings, and extension of markings. They are not set in stone, hard rules, but they are fairly true to our design expectations. You are not required to color pick from gradients; they are meant as a starting point for those who may not know what colors to use.
