Champagne Pearls...???

[Ziel]

Little stumped on the color of these horses - I suspect they have champagne and pearl, and two appear to have a bay base... but I don’t have much experience with pearls, so I’d appreciate some opinions here!

The first two are amber cream (bay + champagne + 1x cream). They are both descended from this perlino ancestor with a clear line of single creams leading directly to them.

The third is correctly identified as a perlino champagne.

Just a point to remember - pearl can not hide in the presence of cream. If there's cream in the pedigree but no evidence of pearl (and no direct links to apparently un-diluted AC NABs), it usually fairly safe to assume that pearl is not present.

Thank you - I believe you are correct! I guess for some reason I thought the top two weren’t Amber Cream for... some... reason?? But I can see they are now!

Yeah, champagne can cause some really effects on coats, especially when you add cream. To be fair, I did look through pedigrees, etc, to make sure my first thought was correct. Didn't want to just assume anything.
