The silver dilution gene in horses dilutes what real coat color?

Silver dilutes black pigment. Silver has no effect on Red. And a black horse carrying the silver gene will be brownish/chocolate with flaxen mane and tail.

Can palominos be considered a purebred line of horses Why or why not?
No they cannot as Palomino is a color and not a breed. Plus Palomino coloring does not always breed true as it is a dilution of Chestnut.
What is a dun dilute in horse colors?
The dun dilution gene causes red pigment on the body to be diluted to flat tan or "peanut butter" shade, sometimes with some subtle red tones, and it dilutes black pigment on the body to slate or dove-gray. The dun dilute gene does not appear to dilute the color where primitive markings exist on the horse. The primitive markings include dorsal stripe, ventral stripe, leg barring, wither bar, neck cape, cob webbing on the forehead, and other markings. Not all horses display all markings. When a copy of the mutation for the dun dilution is on a black base coat color, the color is called grulla. When a copy of the mutation for the dun dilution is on a bay base coat color, the color is called dun, bay dun, or zebra dun. When a cop of the mutation for the dun dilution is on a chestnut base coat color, the color is called red dun.

What does dappled gray horses mean?
A dappled horse is like a horse with patches or spots of colour on it. Some horses are just brown, grey, black etc, dapple is just another colour variation. The horse would usually be white with grey spots/patches on it.Usually found on the horses hind or back legs.
Are white horses actually called white horses?
Yes, white does exist in horses. It is called 'Dominate White' and is a genetic mutation of the Kit gene. It causes a white coat, pink skin, and brown eyes. There are also other forms of white caused by the Sabino and Splashed white genes (this can also cause blue eyes instead of brown) . White is not to be confused with Grey where the horses coat turns white over a period of time. (They have grey skin under the hair.) Or Double Dilutes, such as cremello, perlino, and smoky cream. These horses have pink skin, blue eyes and an off-white or creamy colored coat.
What is the most rare horse?
Some say the rarest horse color is black. To be a true black, the horse must be black all over with black points, or sometimes white points. roan is a rarest color Brindle or Blood markings are also VERY rare on a horse :)

Why are palominos golden in color?
Because that's the color god made themA:Palomino's have a special gene that when crossed with a certain color, it dilutes it to a golden color.

Does an allele of the A gene cause pigment dilution in horses?
The A (agouti) and the E (extension) sites control the base color of a horse and are not associated with any of the dilution alleles. The A site has the alleles + (wild type baby) A (bay), At (brown) and a (black) The E site has the alleles E (not chestnut) and e (chestnut) The A site is hypostatic to the E site which means that the A site base color is only displayed if E is present as an allele in the genotype of the horse. ee horses are chestnut no matter what alleles are present at the A site EE and Ee horses are the color controlled by the alleles present at the A site Often breeders will comment that their stallion is homozygous for black because it has EE at the extension site however, a true homozygous black individual is aaEE. All the dilution alleles are present at different loci not only from the A and E sites but from each other as well. Dn, Cr, Ch, Zn etc.
What color is sliver?
silver is actually either a metallic color, grey, or silver... it depends on what kind of silver. They are usually silver, which is a color.
How many coulers do horses comme in?
The base coat colors are black, bay, brown and chestnut. These colors can have many shades. The base colors are modified by dilution genes Creme which produces buckskin, palomino cremello, perlino smokey black. Dun which produces red dun, grulla, dun Creme and Dun together can produce Dunalino, Dunskin, Slate Grulla Champagne produces Gold, Amber, Sable and Classic Silver (taffy) produces Silver Bay, Silver Black, Silver Sable (doesn't show on chestnut horses) Again all these colors can have many shades. Roan and grey can modify these colors further by adding white hairs to the coat color. Brindle is a rare color that adds stripes to the haircoat. Spotting patterns and other white markings are not included as colors in this answer.
Why do polo shirts have different color horses?
Because it is the company's logo the color is to match the shirt's color! There is a difference between brown horses and blue horses, but I do not know why.
Where do palomino horses originated from?
Spain. Palomino is a color and has been present in horses for a fairly long time. It is caused by the Cream Dilution gene, so as long as the breed carries the cream gene, they can also have palomino coloring. No one is 100% certain where cream or Palomino first cropped up, but it is likely caused by a genetic mutation.
