This is just for me to have a personalized BO Guide since I'm not 100% satisfied with any I've seen.
Bases
In General
Bases with "Rare" genetics are always bo. Many bases with "Special" genetics also are, however, applicator bases aren't bo since they're kinda easy to obtain. Craftable bases are so cool but not technically bo but whatever.
BO skins are NCL exclusives, tied to a base, or from event studs.
Bunting, Clouded, Echo, Eggshell Blue, Greige,
Ink, Lilac, Pale, Peach, Plum, Quail, Ruffian,
Sandstone, Welsummer
Any hetero or sectoral eyes are combos of their components. Then there are a handful of true combos:
Aquamarine, Cosmic, Coffee, Dusk, Euphorbia,
Pine, Shamal, Spacetime, Wistful
Aquamarine = Celestite/Jasper x Ice/Seafoam
Cosmic = Galaxy/Jasper x Dawn, Draconid, Starshine, Stellar, or Sunglow
Coffee = Brown/Earth/Sandy/Tan x Smoke/Struthio/Sunstone/Yellow
Dusk = Dawn/Sunglow x Crepuscular/Midnight
Euphorbia = Crimson/Red x Jade/Sage
Pine = Black/Earth/Hazel/Jet x Green/Mint/Olive/Peridot
Shamal = Amethyst/Mist x Bronze/Cognac
Spacetime = Neutron/Preon x Axion/Stellar
Wistful = Dove/Maroon x Arid/Richat
Breed Unique are "fails" to pass a parent eye color in the same sense that PF mut is a "fail" to pass the primal mutation.
Burnish, Clay, Dunt, Eglomise, Faience, Mire,
Porcelain, Rose Ebony, Rose Quarts, Terrazzo
Tier 2 (raffle), Tier 4 (rosettes), and Tier 5 (hybrid/restricted) markings are always bo. The only way to get a marking with these tiers is to breed from a lion that has them already or hope and pray to the RMA gods.
Sometimes BO
Tier 3 (event) markings are sometimes bo (screaming crying I need to manually check). Tier 3 markings can come from RMAs, raffle gals, studs, NCLs, Piety, or applicators. The markings from raffle gals, NCLs, or studs are considered bo:
Bandit (Cloud, Feline, Mirage, Unders)
Celestial (Agouti, Cover, Shine, Speckles)
Dawn (Dapple, Lace, Margay, Shine)
Leonid (Coat, Feline, Smoke, Undershine)
Nomad (Feline, Mottled Vents, Rogue, Shepherd)
Outlaw (Cheetah, Feline, Mottled Fissures, Rogue)
Prismatic (Feline, Glaze, Smoke, Undercover)
Ruffian (Feline, Panther, Siames, Soft Unders)
Scoundrel (Feline, Inv Brawl, Pelage, Undersides)
Sidereal (Cover, Glaze, Points, Shine)
Skyward (Cover, Crumbing Shine, Undercover)
Stratosphere (Feline, Lycaon, Undertone, Vitiligo)
Ukame (Feralis, Marble, Rugged Unders, Undercover)
Vagabond (Mirage, Mottled Fissures, Nuzzle, Rev Indiri) Any marking with these colors:
Cinnabar, Clay, Copal, Marigold Inverted Cover in these Colors:
Almond, Bone, Coral, Cream, Quartz, Royal,
Saffron, Shell, Silky, White
Uh Oh I'm About To Be Controversial!!
I think that Tier 6 (RMA-exclusive) should be widely considered bo because they are more difficult to obtain than applicators or NCL exclusives. I am going to count Tier 6 markings as BO because I said so and this is made up anyway.
