What is all the colors of a palomina horse?

There is a registery for Palominos that require the palomino's coat to be the color of a "Newly minted U.S. Gold Coin" and of course, the mane and tail have to be white. Excessive white is frowned on. White stocking at or below the knee/hock and a blaze is OK, but much more is not wanted. And Palominos have dark skin. Another color, Golden Champagne, is alot like palomino, but they have light, speckled skin, not dark skin like palominos. But horses that are not in the registery can still be called palominos as long as they follow the above rules except for the one about the golden coin. Palominos can be a very light golden color, to a deep, almost bronze color. Palomino horses usually have white manes and tails and are all tan on their bodies
