A buckskin gets it's coloring from the cream gene (Cr), a bay horse with a Cr gene is a buckskin. A bay itself is a modification of the black coat color gene (Ee or EE) with the agouti gene (A), which limits the back color to the legs/tail/mane and allowing the red pigment (e) to show. The Cr gene lightens the red pigment into the well known buckskin color.

In it's double form Cream will usually affect the black points as well.
