For a really fun and great way to calculate the percentages of chance for a particular color coming out from a mating between variously colored Sires and Dams, please, go to the link above.
Once you are there pull down the menu under Equine Services and then click on Coat Color Calculator. Once you are there, simply read and follow the instructions and have fun!
Color Chart
This color chart is from this great site> Cremello & Perlino Educational Association> http://www.doubledilute.com/
If you want more information, please go there. Also, certain links in both charts will take you there for more information on that color.

This next chart (see below) is strictly for the creme-related colors; if you have other genes, modifying the colors, such as pinto, dun, Appaloosa, Champagne, roan, etc., you would need to take those into account as well. In colors where the black gene or the bay gene is present, the possibility of heterozygosity (mixed) is assumed. Percentages are not guarantees; they only show probability where applicable (except 100%). Clicking the underlined words will take you to a DIFFERENT PAGE, about that color. We're using "sorrel" to mean sorrel OR chestnut. The most probable outcomes are at the top of the list in bold, the rest are in no particular order.
This site is not intended to give the visitor a complete education in the science of equine genetics, but merely to explain the creme gene in layman's terms, and thus help dispel some of the myths associated with it. If you have questions about these horses and their coloration. |
A Red based horse with no black gene and no dilution gene
A sorrel/chestnut horse that recieved one copy of the creme dilition gene from one of its parents, giving it a coat ranging in color from pale cream, to golden, to chocolate and has a white mane and tail.
A sorrel/chestnut horse that recieved one copy of the creme gene from both of its parents, and has pink skin, blue eyes, cream to nearly white hair coat, and a white mane and tail.
A Black based horse with the "bay" gene, which restricts the black to the mane, tail and legs (also called black "points") and no dilution gene
A Bay horse that recieved one copy of the creme dilution gene from one of its parents, giving it a diluted hair coat (the color can range from very pale cream, to gold, to a dark "smutty" color,) and has black "points".
A Bay horse that recieved one copy of the creme gene from both of its parents, and has pink skin, blue eyes, a cream to white colored coat and a darker mane and tail (often orange or red tinted).
A Black based horse with no "bay" gene, and no dilution gene, ranging from "true" black to brown in appearance.
A Black horse that recieved one copy of the creme dilution gene from one of its parents, but probably looks no different than any other black or brown horse.
A Black horse that recieved one copy of the creme gene from both of its parents, possessing pink skin, blue eyes, and an orange or red cast to the entire hair coat.
