Eternal looks like a palomino appaloosa, Darkness is a amber champagne appaloosa? and Eternity is a liver chestnut or just a pretty dark chestnut appaloosa.

I could be wrong, hahah

Eternal Darkness is a palomino snowcap. He could possibly be dun as well but he has so much foal pangare that it's hard to tell at this point. He should have one tiger eye gene from his dad, but since he's not champagne he won't show it.

Silly Darkness is a buckskin dun blanket. Lp bronzing is causing his legs to look more red than black, but he is still buckskin. Dun is causing the striping on his legs. He also has two tiger eye genes, giving him his blue eyes.

Eternity is a mealy chestnut with a blanket. Lp sooty is causing her to turn more black as she ages and the varnish is giving her a bit of a roan pattern. Mealy is causing the lightness around her muzzle and lower legs.

your foal is an Palomino with Lp

the sire is a buckskin with Lp (bay + cream)

and the dam is just a chestnut with Lp (with mealy)

The Lp gene has caused the dams mane/tail to lighten (and the feathers always come out with the same hair color)

here's a new picture of Eternal at 8 months:
Eternal

It looks like he's developing markings on his legs close to his hooves
