This gene has an effect on both eumelanin and phaeomelanin. When in the dominant form, "D/D" or "D/d", it allows for full color (black or red). When present in the homozygous recessive form (d/d) it dilutes black (eumelanin) to blue, and red to cream. This dilution gene also dilutes the nose leather, eye rims and lips to gray. The eye color can be diluted, as well.
