What Colour is this exactly?
Hello! I feel like i am over posting a bit, but i am colorblind and i do have trouble telling what color is what. Especially with the whites/slightly off whites. I really appreciate anyone who can help me out

Re: What Colour is this exactly?
He's not really white, he's just young. He'll get darker as he ages.
I'll show you what I mean. This is Torque. He's a brown cream (double cream on brown).
0 years old
0.5 years old
3 years old
Current 5 year old Torque
I think you get the picture.
For your boy, he got a cream from his father, and seeing as his mother didn't give him another cream since she can't, he must have also got a pearl from his father. My guess is that he's a Smoky Brown Pearl, but that's only after a quick glance.

Sire could have only contributed either Cream or Perl (their on the same gene). The Dam's Sire is a Perlino which means she's carrying a
"hidden" cream(blacks don't show with only one copy). Cream from Dad + Cream from mom equal double dilute Baby.

Sunken Star is still very young. As a guideline, you should wait until your foal is about one year old to ask here :)
For now, it indeed looks like he could be Smoky Brown Pearl.
Devolare is a bit wrong about why, though. He cannot have inherited both Cream and Pearl from the sire as they are both on the same locus and only one can be inherited at a time.
Gamma looks black but she's actually Smoky Black (her dam is Perlino, so guaranteed to pass one Cream to every foal).
So Sunken Star is either double Cream (Smoky or Brown Cream, depending on base colour) or Cream + Pearl (Smoky Black/Brown Pearl, depending on base colour).
Let's just wait until he's matured :)

Re: What Colour is this exactly?
Eh it was a quick glance. x'D I didn't see that his mother had a perlino parent. He looked slightly different than my double creams, so I assumed pearl came from his father as well. I don't work with pearls a lot really so I just assumed they were different. Still stand by my guess tho.
