Buckskin: A bay horse with one copy of the cream gene, a dilution gene that "dilutes" or fades the coat color to a yellow, cream, or gold while keeping the black points (mane, tail, legs). Palomino : chestnut horse that has one cream dilution gene that turns the horse to a golden, yellow, or tan shade with a flaxen or white mane and tail.

Eumelanin predominates in the legs, mane and tail of bay horses.

Chestnut horses lack the ability to manufacture eumelanin altogether, and so have wholly red coats devoid of true black ...
