Pearl Question... Just need help confirming colt's color.

Post by Caramelapple3 »

I have this colt:
The Horse In Question

And I am thinking that he is a pearl something. His dam obviously carries pearl, because she is also the mother of this palomino pearl filly: https://www.horseworldonline.net/horse/profile/2431677
He sort of looks like perlino, since his main, tail, legs and muzzle (nose) are darker than the rest of his body, but he has this "slightly peachy" color that makes me suspect pearl, since a perlino would be lighter. His sire is black, so I don't think he carries the cream gene (or can cream hide on black, since it has a hard time diluting it?) and his dam is chestnut, so she does not carry cream for sure.
Here are his parents:
His dam: chestnut, carries pearl. No cream.

His sire: black, don't know if he carries pearl, don't think he carries cream.

He is a buckskin pearl. His sire is smoky black - his foal coat is the bluish color of a black with cream rather than the red color of a plain black.
