Close!
[WS] Rainstorm is a Varnish Grulla/Grullo/Black Dun Blanket Tobiano. They all mean the same thing pretty much, so it's your preference as to how you want to say it; I prefer Grulla. She's possibly a Smoky Grulla (Grulla with one cream gene) but that's only visible as a foal and she's lacking foal pictures. It's hard to say from her progeny as well; I'd assume plain Grulla until proven Smoky. She also has two Tiger Eye genes.

[WS] Dancer is a Grulla/Grullo/Black Dun. It's again possible that he's a Smoky Grulla Dun (Grulla with a cream gene) but he has no foals nor foal pictures so assume plain Grulla until Smoky is proven. He also has Tiger Eyes.

[WS] Prancer is indeed Grey; She's a Grey Dunliano/Palomino Dun. She also has two Tiger Eye genes.

[WS] Thunderstorm is a Red Dun. It's very subtle, but there's a dorsal and tonal shading. Since Zilpha is non-Dun, Rainstorm must be Dun in order for Thunderstorm to also be Dun. Using reverse genetics like this definitely helps with horses covered by heavy varnish such as Rainstorm. Thunderstorm has one Tiger Eye gene.

[WS] Zilpha is indeed a Chestnut. He likely has no Tiger Eye genes.

[WS] The Discreet Waterfall is a Varnish Dunskin/Buckskin Dun Blanket with one tiger eye gene I believe.

[WS] Walnut is a Bay Dun with two tiger eye genes. Any socks in this game are technically Tobiano but it's up to you if you want to include that in the color; I normally don't unless the Tobiano is more than socks.

[WS] Cupid is a Dunliano/Palomino Dun with one tiger eye gene.

[WS] Lilac Wings is a Palomino Blanket with two tiger eye genes.
