Simple Perlino, Gray or more going on?

Blue eyes at birth, now turning amber. The dam is gray, but could carry cream because of dam. It's entirely possible I'm overthinking it because I tend to do that, but the color looks odd to me.

Thoughts?

I'm thinking perlino going gray; believe I'm seeing faint gray goggles. ;)
Comparing to my perlino (dun), their heads seem a bit different too, which backs up the "gray" (I'm only assuming though)

Aela is right. Greying perlino!
So the dam is actually smoky black :)

Ok, thanks! Dam is definitely gray, though, which you'll see if you look through her gallery. :) If I recall correctly, gray overrides cream genes.

Yep. Grey overrides EVERYTHING. So the horse could even be tobiano underneath (if these patterns were already implemented). I was talking about her base colour.

Ah, yes. Sorry and Thank You! I'm a bit of an airhead lately. Running short on sleep and chasing 2 sick kids kinda killed my brainpower. ;)
