What color is your horse if he has light blue eyes and pink skin?
The most likely colors are cremello, perlino, and smokey cream. Cremellos are chestnut horses with two cream genes. Cremello horses usually have almost-white hair, pale pink skin, and blue eyes. Perlinos are bay horses with two cream genes, and look very similar to cremellos, but often have a little bit of pigment in their manes and tails, and a tiny bit in their coat. Smokey creams are black horses with two cream genes. They tend to be a tiny bit darker, with a little bit of pigment in the mane and tail, but still have pink skin and blue eyes.
What are the 2 basic color genes 4 horses?
There are not two basic color genes for horses, but there are two basic pigments: red (phaeomelanin) and black (eumelanin). A horse who displays red pigment will be chestnut, and a horse who displays black pigment will be black. All horses carry both red and black pigment. Bay horses have a gene called the Agouti modifier. It pushes black pigment away from the body of the horse, leaving the mane, tail, and legs black. The three basic horse colors are black, bay, and chestnut. All other horse colors are modifications of these colors.
