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.
