First is unusual. There's a darkening of those lower legs, but obviously not a buckskin. For now, I'm agreeing with KingstonDressage. It does appear to be a palomino, probably with sooty.

Second appears to be a sable cream, not a gray.

Third is a buckskin (same cream, different base) and also with Lp.

Forth is a smoky cream (two creams on a black base).

Last appears to be a smoky cream champagne (triple dilute, pseudo-white), but with so much To covering the body, it's getting much more difficult to pin down these colors.

Very nice! With over 90% of the body a To-white (Tobiano white), personally, I'd start calling them pseudo-whites of the To variety. It's not an easy task to get them to this point and beyond. Congrats. :mrgreen:

For this project, selective inbreeding will aid you in your outcome. Remember that once established, COI can be lowered a number of ways.
Of them, the line-breeding option and the frozen brood, frozen stud option is the most likely candidates for helping to maintain the white-To look while dealing with COI.

Those two pastures look gorgeous. :D You may need some fresh genes if you feel that some areas of color are getting a bit 'sticky'. Also, if you try to keep the base colors (brown, bay, wild bay, chestnut and black) without modifiers such as cream (that will give you buckskin and palomino), it will help to highlight the areas of color much better (to help breed them out). Although at the stage you're at, that might be more of a hassle to correct then just ignoring it. :D
Once white-To is accomplished... or color solely on the head, it'll become impractical to try to name the base color anymore (that's even if it's possible).

There are a couple, a small handful of To breeders out there, so if you get stuck or have some questions, there may be more in-depth answers available, then what I might be able to supply. :mrgreen: But, I think you probably already know that. ;)
