Terracotta Dune
"dntdnt / dntdnd / dntdnl / dntdns"
Terracotta Dune is the newest gene in the Dune series, separated out from the standard Dune color in 2021. It is a deep, vibrant red-brown color reminiscent of unglazed terracotta clay. Terracotta Dune can never be bright (like carrot orange), too yellow (too close to Sunset Yellow) or fall too heavily into the gray part of the spectrum (too close to Chestnut Dune). Terracottas do not get very dark, and anything much darker than shown would fall under Dark Dune.

Sunset Yellow (Top) vs Terracotta Dune (Bottom) ComparisonTerracotta Dune and Sunset Yellow are two sides to the same coin: two new shades that lean into the orange spectrum. It is important when picking your colors for Terracotta that you do not end up too bright and vibrant. Sunset Yellow is, as the name says, a shade of yellow which for the most part are color-picked at the top of the color slider where the pigment is most vibrant. Terracotta Dune is at its heart, a shade of red-brown which is color-picked in the middle-right of the color slider. Terracotta can never be as light as Sunset Yellow and Sunset Yellow can never be as dark as Terracotta. The two do not have overlapping shades.

Double Dilute + Terracotta Examples
The double dilute gene overlays a sheen of white over the coat and skin, diluting everything except the eyes; their eyes can be just as dark as a non-diluted dog!
Two copies of the double dilute gene nullifies the Lutino modifier and results in a red, pink, or lavender eyed albino with pink skin. While Lethal Whites can survive birth, they are often reabsorbed in the womb or stillborn. Lethal White puppies can be born deaf, blind, or be born with severe deformities such as small eyes or lacking eyes altogether, hairlessness, cleft palate, skin allergies, a predisposition to skin cancer, cataracts, and multiple congenial organ defects that result in a failure to thrive.
