You could get either a palomino or a chestnut. Since a palomino is a diluted chestnut, and a chestnut has no dilution genes, it will balance out the foal's genes so that it could be either color! Good Luck!

∙ 11y agoChestnut is one of the two base colors for all horses (black is the other), Chestnut or red is characterized by a red colored body, the mane and tail may match the body color, be almost black, or be white / flaxen in color (Chestnut with a flaxen mane and tail is called sorrel).
Palomino is a chestnut based horse with one copy of the cream gene which will cause the body to lighten to a gold color on most horses. They can also be a very pale creamy color, or nearly black (called chocolate palomino.) With a white or silvery mane and tail.
On foals the color typically changes frequently and the best way to know what color it is is to have a genetic test done for red, cream and any other color genes you would like to look for.

What is a diluted chestnut?
I'll assume you are asking about horse colors. Chestnut is one of the two base colors for horses (The other being black). Chestnut (also called Red). can be anywhere from a pale almost palomino color to a dark nearly black looking color, with the mane and tail the same color, darker, or lighter. Chestnut can become 'diluted' when the cream gene is present. One copy of cream added to chestnut will give a palomino, two copies and the color will be cremello.
What colors make a palomino?
Palomino is a single cream dilution of the red gene. This means that a chestnut (Red based) horse inherited one copy of the cream gene and the color was diluted to palomino, whereas two copies would turn a chestnut into a cremello.

Palomino isn't a breed of horse, it is a colour. Answer 2: As stated above Palomino is a color, not a breed. The Palomino horse registries are color registries, not breed associations.

How do you determine if a palomino is a hybrid or a purebred trait?
Palomino is a color and not a breed produced by the introduction of the Creme gene on an otherwise chestnut horse. A palomino is eeCrcr and has to be heterozygous at the creme dilution locus. A homozygous creme horse that is otherwise chestnut at the extension site is eeCrCr which produces the double dilute color of cremello, a horse that is nearly white with blue eyes.
