Hi! I went ahead and gave you the color name, the genotype (because I love genetics) along with an explanation of how I derived the colors.

Please feel free to ask if you have any questions, and hopefully this helps!


Golden Eyed Wonder: Metallic Smoky Cream Roan (Ee aa nRn CR/CR MTL/MTL)

• Her shiny face shows she has the metallic genes
• Her sire's dam had the cream gene, and it appears this was passed on to her sire. Usually cream does not show up on black, however, when the horse has two cream genes, it creates a sort of golden-brown color like this.
• Her body is lighter than her head and points, and shows streaks of the base coat, so she's definitely roan.

Sienna Sun: Metallic Silver Bay Roan (E_ Aa nRn MTL/MTL) - may carry the chestnut gene (small e) but won't know unless she drops a chestnut foal, or gene sequencing is added to the game.

• Again, the face is really shiny, so we can tell that she is metallic.
• The brown color of her coat and the black points shows that she carries the bay agouti.
• The light, practically white mane and tail shows she has the silver gene.
• The body is lighter than the face/legs and has the streaks of normal color among the paler color, therefore she's has the roan gene.

Lullaby Night: Sable Champagne with Blanket (E_ At_ nLp)

• She has freckles on her muzzle, so this shows that she has the Champagne gene.
• She from the shade of her coat and the lightness on her belly, it looks like she has the brown gene (a variant of the bay gene labeled At). As an added note, regular bay and wild bay is always dominant over brown, so her second allele for that gene is either another At or an a (little a = black)
• I'm not actually certain if there's enough white on her rump to be a for-realsies blanket, but that's what I'm going to call it! She has the leopard gene for sure, which means she's going to varnish (get lighter) as she gets older.

Moonstruck: Smoky Cream (E_ aa CR/CR)

• This is what the smoky cream color looks like without the roan gene (refer to comments under Golden Eye Wonder)
