Thoroughbred Filly

Help! What color could she be? I was tentatively guessing maybe flaxen/silver gold champagne, if there is such a thing? Not too sure, I haven't seen this in my tb's before. Any and all help is appreciated! :D

She is flaxen gold champagne with light pangare on her legs. Just for the record - silver will not show up on a chestnut-based horse as it only affects black pigment. So only bay-, brown-, or black-based horses can show silver. Similarly, flaxen will only show up on red-based horses because it only affects red pigment.

Thank you so much! And thanks for the genetics refresher, I completely forgot about the black-based fact! That clears up a lot :)
