Most Percherons carry the gray gene, which makes them turn gray, and then eventually white as they get older. Many other horses carry this gene as well. In the case of Percherons, they are generally born black, but can also be born chestnut or bay. Grays of other breeds can be born in colors like palomino, champagne, cremello, etc.
