What color do you get when you breed a gray horse with a chestnut?

It could be chestnut, flaxen chestnut, bay, or black, because it's unknown whether the bay is heterozygous or homozygous for black and agouti and whether the chestnut has any agouti genes.
Bay is most likely.
If you Google 'horse gene calculator', you get a good site that predicts foal outcomes.

What color will you get if you breed a black horse to a gray?
If you breed a black horse and a gray horse, you can get quite a variety of colors. If the gray horse has a black base (was born black), then the offspring will either be black or black-based gray. If the gray horse is chestnut-based or bay-based, however, you can get black, chestnut, bay, black-based gray, chestnut-based gray, or bay-based gray. It's most likely that the gray horse is black-based, though genetic testing would probably be required to find out for sure.

Example: Cremello Stallion x Chestnut Mare = Either buckskin or palomino.
