Most likely you would get a light horse with either blue eyes or black eyes. It would matter though because, to be specific, there is no such thing as a white horse. Any horse that is grey or anything lighter than grey, unless cremello, is called grey, even if it has white mane/tail and a complete white body. To tell the difference between cremello and grey would be they eyes, with cremello being blue and and grey being black. Also, nostrils, genitals and any other place where there is no hair and skin shows, will be pink on cremello. On grey, those hairless places can be black or mottled. But to answer your question, it would either be cremello or white/grey, nowhere in between.

A perlino horse has two cream alleles on what base color?
bay
What is a perlino?
Perlino is a cream gene that is responsible for a number of horse coat colors. Horses with a chestnut base coat color and the cream gene will become palomino if they carry one cream gene, and will be cremello if they carry a pair of the cream genes.
What are the differences between cremello color and grey in horses?
Cremello is a color dilute gene that changes the base coat color of a horse to a lighter shade in utero. Grey is a color modifier meaning it causes the base color of the horse to slowly lighten to a white color over time after the foal has been born.
Why wouldn't a horse breeder mate male and female palominos to get palomino colts?
Mating two palominos will result in a palomino colt only 50% of the time, with a 25% chance for a chestnut, and a 25% chance for a cremello. Breeding a cremello with a chestnut always gives 100% palomino foals. This will require an explanation of coat colour genetics: When talking about horse coats, there are two dilution genes possible for the foal to inherit. Concerning palominos: The base colour is chestnut. A horse that does not have any dilution genes will be chestnut. A horse that has one dilution gene (the dilute) will be a palomino. A horse with both the dilution genes (double dilute) will be a cremello. When you breed two palominos, two of the possible four dilution genes are in play. This means the foal has a 50% chance of being a palomino (inherits the dilution gene from one parent only), a 25% chance of being a chestnut (inherits neither dilution gene) and a 25% chance of being a cremello (inherits both dilution genes). This means the breeder has only a 50% chance of achieving what they want (foal is palomino). So if a horse breeder is breeding for colour and wants palominos they will choose a chestnut horse and a cremello horse - usually chestnut mares are bred to a cremello stallion, as chestnuts are common. When one parent is a chestnut and one is a cremello, the foal will always be palomino because they will never inherit a dilution gene from the chestnut (it doesn't have one) and they will always inherit a dilution gene from the cremello (because it has both), leaving a single dilution gene for the foal - palomino. Of course, just randomly crossing chestnut mares with cremello stallions does not mean you will always get a stunning golden beauty. The mares and stallions should be carefully matched - if you choose horses that are incompatible in temperament or conformation, you might get a palomino foal that is ugly or belligerent. Colour should not be the first consideration when making breeding choices. Even when you do cross chestnut with cremello (guaranteeing yourself palomino) there is no way to know the quality of the coat colour until the foal is born - you could still end up with a palomino that is too light, too dark, or has a blonde mane and tail rather than true white. So it's best to choose from lines that are known to throw good palominos - or take the 50/50 risk breeding two palominos together.
Which 2 colors of horse would you want to breed if you wanted to produce the maximum number of palomino foals in the shortest amount of time?
Firstly let me say that breeding only for color is a very bad idea. Always breed for conformation, temperament and performance first and only from registered and proven breeding stock of good conformation and temperament. Now for the color genetics, you'd want a chestnut horse that is ee (the only way to get chestnut is if it's ee.) for the red base coat, that also does not carry agouti (responsible for black distribution.) so it would need to be aa also. You'll need a cremello horse with the above factors also. ee, aa, and carrying two copies of cream (the only way to get a horse to be cremello is if it carries two copies of cream.) so it would be CrCr. This would produce foals that are ee, aa, nCr or palomino in color (palomino only requires one copy of the cream gene.) You can test any horse for breeding by ordering a test through a reputable company or lab, pull some tail hairs from the potential breeding stock and send it in for testing. This will tell you 100% what genes your horses have and what the potential foals color(s) would be.
How do you get perlino horse?
Looks at the descendents and gene types from both mare and stallion. The color perlino is basically diluted buckskin
A perlino horse has two cream alleles on what base color?
bay
What is a perlino?
Perlino is a cream gene that is responsible for a number of horse coat colors. Horses with a chestnut base coat color and the cream gene will become palomino if they carry one cream gene, and will be cremello if they carry a pair of the cream genes.
Can you breed a cremello horse to a palomino or buckskin horse?
You can certainly get an offspring if any mare and any stud breed when the mare is ready and of course both are fertile. If the cremello was bred with a palomino, a cremello foal would most likely be produced, thanks to the double dilution genes. If bred to a buckskin, then a perlino foal would be the resulting offspring.
What color horse will you get if you breed a palomino stud to buckskin mare?
These percentages are from HorseTesting.com which has a color calculator on their website. I hope this helps. 29.17% buckskin 16.67% palomino 14.58% perlino 14.58% bay 8.33% Cremello 8.33% chestnut 4.17% smoky black 2.08% smoky cream 2.08% black.
What are the colors of horse?
There are many different colors, they include: Bay, Grey, Chestnut, Brown, Black,Roan, Cremello, Perlino, Palomino, Buckskin, Dun, Grulla, and about what seems like a zillion others.
What are the differences between cremello color and grey in horses?
Cremello is a color dilute gene that changes the base coat color of a horse to a lighter shade in utero. Grey is a color modifier meaning it causes the base color of the horse to slowly lighten to a white color over time after the foal has been born.
Where are albino horses from?
They come as a mutation of sorts coming from the sire and the dam as carriers of the albino gene. Answer 2: It should be noted that 'Albino' horses, if it is a true albino, typically die at or just after birth due to having no intestinal tract. A true albino will have no color pigment to their hair or skin and their eyes will appear red. Cremello and Perlino are often confused with albinism in horses. Cremellos have a creamy to whitish colored coat with pink skin and blue eyes, their mane and tail may be the same color as the body or white. A perlino colored horse has the same coat, eye and skin color as a cremello but will have a chestnut or orange-ish colored mane and tail.
What colors can a horse come in?
A horse can come in many colors and patterns including, but not limited to: Bay, Brown, Black, Chestnut, Sorrel, Roan, Dun,Grey, White,Buckskin, Palomino, Cream, Cremello, Perlino,Grulla, Champagne, Pearl, Pinto, Appaloosa, and many more.
Can you get perlino with a chestnut stallion a perlino mare?
No, If the stallion is a true Chestnut this is not possible. Because you would need to breed two horses together that carry at least 1 cream gene each. The Perlino has 2 cream genes and so will give her offspring one cream gene 100% of the time but the chestnut does not have one. The possible outcome of the resulting foal would be one of three colors, depending on the genetic makeup of each horse, A Palomino, A Buckskin, or possibly a Smoky black. It is easier to understand basic horse color genetics if you think of horses as three basic colors; Black, Bay and Chestnut. All other colors including gray being a modification of those three.(There are studies being done regarding Brown but this would really confuse this issue) In order to breed a Perlino you must understand what a Perlino is genetically. A perlino is a double dilute of a Bay. A Bay horse carrying 2 cream genes that modifies it's body color. A bay horse that carries 1 dilute or cream gene would be Buckskin. Therefore we can go further and say a Cremello is a double dilute of a Chestnut horse (chestnut that carries 2 cream genes). A Chestnut that carries 1 dilute/cream gene would be palomino. A Smoky Cream is a black horse that carries 2 dilution/cream genes. A Black that carries 1 would be smoky black (looks like a black bay typically) Today there are labs that will give you the genetic color of your horse for a nominal fee (around $50) From this information you can judge with a great level of certainty what colors are possible from that horse when bred to other horses. One such lab is UC Davis. There are many articles on the web that can go even further into color genetics. Breaking the horse's color down into Agouti and Extension genotypes. With some practice and basic understanding of this genetic formula for horse coat color, breeders can know instead of guess the possible colors of the foals they produce. This has been an invaluable tool to breeding colorful horses.
The gene which causes chestnut horses to become palomino is called what?
The common term for the gene that modifies a chestnut to a palomino is a dilution. Horseisle2 answer: Cream -Indefinite on HI2
