Help me color type this gorgeous Belgian filly.
||EC|| Cream Puff

Her mom is a mealy chestnut, I don't think she inherited anything from her to be honest. Her father on the other hand, yeah. Her base color looks similar to his (smoky cream?) I think she has two cream genes + champagne due to the dark eyes and pale freckling around her muzzle/eyes (going by the color guide). And of course, she has an extended blanket with what looks like to be some snowflakes appearing

Stand up for what's right even if you're standing alone.

Re: Help me color type this gorgeous Belgian filly.
Your mare is a gold cream with appaloosa spotting. Gold cream is chestnut plus one cream plus champagne. Her sire is actually a cremello champagne snowcap that is mis-named. As far as the number of cream genes goes - your mare's mother did not have any cream. Therefore, even though her sire has two the most this mare would ever have is one. Also having dark eyes means that she is not a double-dilute - double creams or cream+pearl will have light eyes. And the freckling is caused by champagne.
