So right off the bat he appears to have a black base. Because of the silvery sheen all over him I would say that he also has at least one pearl. The question then becomes, is he double pearl or cream/pearl?

His sire is silver classic pearl, so he got a pearl from his sire. Great, we can stop considering the sire.

The dam is labelled as smoky cream but is actually Smoky Cream Dun (black + dun + 2x cream). In either case the only dilution she has to pass on is cream.

So this boy would be a Classic Cream Pearl - black + champagne + cream/pearl. He may or may not have dun. He's so pale and his dam's expression is so faint that it's hard to tell. I'm leaning towards no dun, though.
