Palomino is a genetic color in horses, consisting of a gold coat and white mane and tail. It is created by a single allele of a dilution gene called the cream gene working on a "red" (chestnut) base coat. Learn more about the history, description, and colors confused with palomino.
Liver is a color name for a dark brown shade, often used for dogs, horses, and the organ. Learn how liver is caused by dilution of black pigment, how to distinguish it from other colors, and how it affects nose and eye color.
Learn about the diverse array of coat colors and distinctive markings of horses, and how they are genetically determined. Find out the basic coat colors, such as chestnut, black, bay, and gray, and their variations and sub-shades.
The cream gene is a dilution gene that lightens the coat, skin and eye colors of horses. Learn about the different types of cream coat colors, such as palomino, buckskin, cremello, perlino and smoky cream, and how they are produced by the cream gene.
Learn about the silver or silver dapple (Z) gene that affects the black base coat color of horses and is associated with eye defects. Find out how to identify silver dapple horses, what breeds carry the gene, and how it works with other dilution genes.
Champagne is a dominant trait, based on a mutation in the SLC36A1 gene. [1] A horse with either one or two champagne genes will show the effects of the gene equally. However, if a horse is homozygous for a dominant gene, it will always pass the gene on to all of its offspring, while if the horse is heterozygous for the gene, the offspring will not always inherit the color.
aa: If horse has E allele, then horse will be uniformly black. MATP (Cream, Pearl) [5] Cr prl n: Cr/Cr: Horse is a double dilute cream (cremello, perlino, or smoky cream) and will have creamy off-white hair with pale eyes and skin. Cr/n: Horse is a single dilute cream (palomino, buckskin, or smoky black/black carrying cream) with red pigment ...
Dun is a gene that lightens the body coat of horses while leaving the mane, tail, and primitive markings dark. Dun can affect bay, chestnut, and black base colors, and produces different shades such as zebra dun, red dun, and grullo.
