All horses have a base color that is either chestnut or black. All colors are a combination of those base colors with other genetics that modify them slightly. Grey is also sometimes considered a basic horse color, although the grey gene modifies the colored genes (chestnut and black) so that, with time the horse turns from a color, to a grey. White is a color that may or may not be present as a marking.

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.
