The tobiano gene produces white-haired, pink-skinned patches on a base coat color.

This horse is gray, not white. Its hair coat is completely white, but its underlying skin, seen around the eye and muzzle, is black. Genetically white horses have unpigmented pink skin (except where a horse with a W allele may have some darker pigmented areas) and unpigmented white hair, though eye color varies.
The colour of the horse's skin underneath its coat alternates between dark or pink, depending on the dark or white overlying hair colour. Some animals also exhibit colouration of the irises of the eye that match the surrounding skin (blue eyes for white skin, brown for dark). The underlying genetic cause is related to a condition known as leucism.
