I feel like you're missing this guy.

(not sure what's up with his color)

This is really helpful thanks! But I have a problem and it may be because there isn’t a picture of this color. I can’t figure out the color of this mare. She was born looking like a smoky black tiger eye but she’s stayed the lighter brown color, and has dark points so she doesn’t look like the dilutes that are already posted.

She is a smoky black tiger eye. There is a slim chance she carries and is displaying silver (her dam line is loaded with lighter colored manes and tails), but I don't think this is the case. I think the entire reason she appears lighter has nothing to do with a potential silver gene and has everything to do with the varnish of the leopard complex gene.
Because of the Lp varnish, she will never be dark; she will continue to brighten and change her appearance subtly throughout her life.

Awesome, thank you! I think she's beautiful, glad I was right about the color originally!

This is difficult as you have a blanket on this horse in the closest picture to 1 year.
But this horse appears to be a triple dilute horse, either two creams or a cream and a pearl with champagne. It also appears to be a chestnut base. Because the dam doesn't appear to be a smoky black (a cream carrier), I'd have to say that Bamboo is a cream and pearl with champagne.

However, that said, this mare could be displaying a silver gene. And because I can't see the legs at all after the foal coat is blown, this stallion could just as easily be brown or bay.

This is my best answer after I investigated your horse: silver, triple dilute on brown.
