This depends greatly on what color the stallion was before he greyed out. Grey is simply a modifying gene that causes the base color of a horse to loose pigment and become white with age, it's not an actual color itself.
That said the foal would likely inherit one copy of the cream gene from the palomino dam, so would likely be some kind of dilute color and depending on the stallions grey status either heterozygous or homozygous he would have a 50% to 100% chance of going grey.
Palomino stallion --eeCrcr (unknown genetics at the Agouti site) Grey mare ----Gg or ----GG (unknown genetics at the agouti or extension site) The color genetics of the mare may be better understood by looking at the parents and grandparents. If the mare is Gg 50% chance of dilute 50% chance of gray 25% chance of both gray and dilute.
Yes, it is possible for a chestnut Arabian mare bred to a black Arabian stallion to produce a grey foal. If either the mare or stallion carry the gene for greying, there is a chance that the foal may inherit this gene and develop a grey coat color as it matures.
Yes, because if you have a grey mare or stud whose base coat color was a dilute color such as palomino 0r buckskin before they turned grey, then that horse is bred to a dilute colored mare, the resulting foal could be a cremello that is also carrying the grey gene. Therefore, cremellos and perlinos can, if they are out of a grey parent, produce a dilute foal that turns grey. UC Davis now offers the genetic testing for the grey gene, so any cremellos or perlinos out of grey parents should be tested before being touted as 100% dilute color producers, or mare owners will be greatly disappointed!
I do have one, it's a unused bay mare code I got from my friend yesterday. I used it, but I do have a Palomino stallion! 45jk=79yi-79yj
Usually the darker color will dominate. But sometimes the genes of the parents can overpower the darker color. You really can not be sure. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- It really depends on whether the black horse is homozygous (EE) or heterozygous (Ee). Horses are born with a base color from each parent. E represents black and e represents red. Black is dominate over red. If you get two red genes (ee) you always end up with a chestnut. If you get one or two black genes (Ee/EE) you end up with a black horse as long as you don't have agouti (A-Bay). So if you have a black horse with Ee bred to a chestnut horse ee, you have a 50/50 chance of getting a chestnut. If you breed a black horse with EE to a chestnut horse ee, you have a 100% chance of a black horse because they black (E) gene is dominate. Hope that clarifies it :) Fuangel29

Like with humans you have to look at genetics. The dominant gene will trump the others usually.

It depends on whether the stallion or mare is homogeneous for a certain color gene. You could have many possibilities, but a logical predication would be either palomino, chestnut, white, or bay. (Bay and chestnut being the two most common horse colors.)

Yes, if the genetics of the stallion and the mare at the Extension sites are both, at least Ee.
50% chance of a creme dilute either a palomino, a buckskin or a smokey black based on the base coat color genetics of the parents. The sorrel mare could be AAee Aaee or aaee The buckskin stallion could be AAEe, AAEE, AaEe, or AaEe If the stallion is AAEE all foals will be bay or buckskin. If both the stallion and the mare carry an a allele a smokey black could be produced.
Palomino Stallion --eeCrcr (the two -- are the unknown alleles at the Agouti site) Black Mare aaEe or aaEE (we will assume that the mare is not a smokey black which is a black horse carrying the creme gene). If either of the mare's parents is a chestnut her genetic makeup is aaEe which will simplify the choices. If either of the stallion's parents was a bay/buckskin (or both parents were bay based ) he will have the possibility of carrying the A allele. If the mare is aaEE no palomino or chestnut foal can be produced. If the stallion is aaeeCrcr 50% chance the foal will be black and 50% chance it will be smokey black. If the stallion is AaeeCrcr then there is a 25% chance the foal will be bay, 25% black, 25% smokey black, 25% buckskin. If the stallion is AAeeCrcr 50% buckskin and 50% bay If the mare is aaEe and the stallion is aaeeCr- the chances are 25% chestnut, 25% palomino, 25% black and 25% smokey black If the mare is aaEe and the stallion is AaeeCrcr the chances are 25% chestnut 25% palomino, 12.5% black, 12.5% bay, 12.5% smokey black, 12.5% buckskin. If the mare is aaEe and the stallion is AAee Crcr 25% palomino, 25% chestnut, 25% buckskin, 25% bay. Lots of possibilities here, always with a 50% chance of the foal with the Creme dilution. Unfortunatley, if the stallion carries a black allele or two black alleles your Creme dilutes will have a high probability of being smokey black which is often hard to tell from black.

Depends on the color of the mare before it turned gray.When the mare was:Chestnut/Sorrel/Red25% Palomino25% Gray out of Palomino25% Gray out of Chestnut25% ChestnutFor the other combinations please check: http://www.animalgenetics.us/CCalculator1.asp
According to Wikipedia, the color of the old grey mare in the folk song was really- grey, as it said nothing about any other color in the lyrics.
