Cremello
I'm usually great with colors, but this filly has me stumped:
I know that her mother is smoky brown dun. I know that her sire is brown-based with champagne - I think he's sable cream, but I'm not sure. It's the uncertainty with the sire that's giving me issues. When this girl was first born, I thought she was a palomino pearl with dun. Here is her newborn picture:
Here are some normal palomino pearls:
Clearly quite different, but I thought that maybe dun could account for that.
However, now that she is older and I don't see any clear dun indicators, I'm not so sure. Also, if her sire is sable cream, then he can't possibly have a pearl to pass on. After looking at a bunch of cremellos, I'm leaning toward that as her color. But she still seems a little too green-ish to be a true cremello to me.
Thoughts?

Re: Cremello
From my perspective she looks to be just cremello.
She has the blue eyes and pink skin around her eye and muzzle, which are indicators of cremello.
I don't believe she is carrying any pearl, but I do see the undertone you are talking about in her coat that's questionable. It may just be a different shade of cremello.
