Interesting color
This appy colt looks like a negative with his darker star and stockings 
Can someone tell me what all genes he has?
The weird color is fading more now at 6months. Can't see the star any more.
and now at 1yr all that weird baby color is gone and he looks normal but I will keep his name Dark Star as a reminder
I'm thinking maybe the gray in his background was playing with his color?

Dark Star looks to be a Palomino Pearl Blanket (Sire looks to carry the pearl gene from his own Dam).
Now the closest thing I've seen to your colts newborn photos is from when I experimented with adding Cream and Champagne genes into my Pink lines. We aren't a 100% sure what causes some horse to come out with such bright pink tones, but it is theorized that it has something to do with Dun and/or Pangare lightening the coats. Cream on Pink foals tend to be born way brighter and more vivid than normal and slowly fade into a normal but still slightly brighter version of its coat color. However, I have been able to breed specifically for this trait and produced horses with white markings that nearly blend into their base coat color.
