That one is kinda mean; (1.) He got the Snowflake/Lp gene from his sire - best seen in the picture at 4.42 years - and is varnishing quite a lot before (2.) his grey(ing) sets fully in. Grey horses/foals are always easy to spot cause the foal already has their grown/adult coat.
So, grey and Leopard complex on a silver smoky black pearl base are the main causes here = Grey Silver Smoky Black w/ Lp

Rosewood Seastar Infusion

Here the grey is also at fault - though she's got less heavy varnish/snowflakes than her half-brother
So I'm pretty sure she is Grey on a Cremello base coat = Grey Cremello w/ Lp

Rosewood Watch Me Grow

This one has heavy varnish with bronzening caused by Leopard complex on a black pearl base = Black Pearl w/ Lp

Rosewood Watching Dreams

black foals are born brown rather than black, so its actually a normal thing for them to go from brown to black - and cause she also expresses Lp quite a bit she's varnishing and bronzening over time. So black base with Lp = Black w/ Lp


dunno if you noticed this guide but I still find it really helpfull for coat/gene explanations
