Post by Emiliares »

Hello,
I'm a little confused about these horse colours. Are they all the same colour (few sooty maybe, but the same base colour)? If I keep breeding them will they eventually dilute to a more light colour? Help me name this colour please? Thank you in advance!

























Another horse colour I'm not sure of:




Thanks again!

Regular black?




And lastly:

You are correct - all of the horses above John Snow (the leopard patterned horse) are the same color. They are all cremello (chestnut + 2 cream). They also all have varying degrees of sooty. If you breed them together you will always end up with a cremello, though the level of sooty will vary from horse to horse.

John Snow is gold cream (chestnut + champagne + 1 cream). His current coloration looks odd because he is being affected by appy varnish and sooty.

Champagne Clash is a plain black.

Dragon Khan is sorrel (chestnut + pangare).
