I have no idea what you just saidLlamaLlama99 wrote:Actually I believe its smoky seal brown because of the gold/black rather than brown/black! this means it has one copy of the cream dilute gene, it only dilutes that part of the coat! plus tobiano ofc yes! someone correct me if I'm wrong ofc!FantasyRanch3 wrote:

Color is a steel Brown pinto with tiger eye
your horse's sire is a double dilute so I do not doubt myself though!

Cr is the cream dilute gene (found in buckskin (one copy of Cr on bay), palomino (one copy of Cr on chestnut), Cremello (double Cr on Chestnut) etc etc)
a dilute means it makes the base colour (chestnut/bay/black/brown) lighter basically!
Your horses base colour is (seal) brown, BUT it has one copy of the cream dilute, meaning the normally reddish brown parts, are now a light gold. one copy of this gene only lightens those parts on a brown horse, two copies of cream would dilute the whole thing!
Here ill give examples:
BROWN NO DILUTE
ONE COPY OF CREAM DILUTE ON BROWN Called smoky brown
DOUBLE CREAM DILUTE BROWN called smoky cream brown

First one is Grullo (dun on black) tobiano with a spotted blanket. also has snowflakes and is varnishing
Second is Silver Seal brown (silver causes the grey mane and tail!)
Third and fourth are stumping me as I'm not entirely familiar with the mechanics of tobiano and wether it removes champagne freckles on effected areas.
I'm torn between Classic champagne (champagne should cause freckles on muzzle but aren't present, maybe because of the white marking) and Smoky cream or smoky cream brown?
last one seems to have the correct colour written down. As I said I'm not sure about how tobiano effects champagne characteristics. Maybe amber cream or gold cream?
someone who knows more about it might be able to help with the last two!

Re: What would you call this colour
The eye color is what gets me. Tiger eyes are Yellow, Orange, and Amber. Green is related to the Champagne dilution, and blue is relate to the Cream/pearl dilution. I swear I've seen Black horses with blue eyes on the game though. I love how they worked so hard to have it mirror real horse genetics as much as possible considering it's a game.

Re: What would you call this colour
A black horse with blue eyes is actually a Smoky Black with Tiger Eye. Single cream with no champagne and double tiger eye gives bright blue instead of the washed-out gray-blue of double creams. You'll get the same eye color on buckskins, smoky browns, and palominos.10987654321 wrote:The eye color is what gets me. Tiger eyes are Yellow, Orange, and Amber.

Re: What would you call this colour
Good to know. Now i have some reading to do.
It's funny I come to play this game, but keep getting distracted by the horse genetic articles. I really should have gone into genetics as I love it so much, but I couldn't afford to.
