Can anyone help me out?

Post by Veterinarian »



Does anyone know what colour he is?
He probably has the double pear dilution gene since his eyes are black or maybe he has 1 copy of the cream gene, Champagne and silver....but I do not know for sure

Silverine likely will swing by with a correction... however:

There's champagne.
I see snowflakes by his jowl.
I think he's on a bay base with silver.
Dark eyes, so only one cream gene. No pearl since cream and pearl will still cause blue eyes... plus he should be quite a bit lighter if he was a triple dilute.

So a silver amber cream with snowflakes.

Hmm I thought that silver Amber Cream looked like this.

I might be wrong though :lol:

Plus I thought his base coat was black but considering that he has bay horses I his pedigree then I am wrong XD

Honestly, he looks silver classic cream to me (has that golden cast to his body/mane/tail)...but my eyes could be fooling me.

Maybe, I mean silver Classic cream is a horse with a black base coat and in his pedigree he does have the bay gene but, apart from the fact that I was focusing on my Thoroughbred's base coat colour to be black (not just E/e but E/E), I don't see the darkened hair on his legs that suggest that he might be a bay (then again BlackOak2 has a lot of experience in this area and they even noticed snowflakes on his jowl tha I hadn't notice and still can't tbh).

Again I think that a silver Classic cream is slightly paler (and usually has more dapples visible) but that indeed might be his colour.

If indeed, those snowflakes are there (and I could be wrong, they could just be artifacts of the layers of the colors rather than actual snowflakes, but I do still see them), then the varnish will have already shifted his color from the original coat. Throw in the champagne lightening and one of our dilute experts might have issues with the color.

I'm not positive on his color. I think I see a shift to his lower legs, which is why I suggested bay. Combined with the silver and the champagne and the varnish... that could be enough to hide what is generally seen. But like I've said... I'm not a dilute expert. :mrgreen:
