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.

A perlino horse has two cream alleles on what base color?
bay
What colors are Ponies of America?
The Ponies of America can be one of the six Appaloosa colors. These colors include bay, buckskin, black, chestnut, palomino, cremello, perlino, roan, and grey.
What color coat you get from breeding a cremello to a perlino horse?
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.
Can a buckskin mare bred to a chestnut produce a gray baby?
This sounds unlikely to me.A chestnut horse does not have any dilution genes in its coat. A chestnut with one dilution gene is a palomino, and with two dilution genes is a cremello.A bay horse (non dilute) with one dilution gene produces a buckskin, and a second dilution gene produces a perlino.If you breed together a non-dilute horse and a double dilute, you will always get the horse with one dilution gene. So if you breed a cremello to a chestnut you will always get a palomino, and if you breed a bay to a perlino you will always get a buckskin. As far as I know, if you breed a chestnut to a perlino or a bay to a cremello you will have a 50/50 chance of palomino or buckskin.When you breed a chestnut and a buckskin one dilution gene is in play, from the mother who has it. The baby may inherit it or not. If the foal inherits the dilute gene it will be a buckskin or a palomino. If it does not inherit the dilution gene it will be chestnut or bay. In the diagram below, D is a non-dilute gene, while the lowercase d is a dilute.MOTHER - buckskin DdFATHER - chestnut DDFOAL: Possible combinationsDD (First gene from each parent), DD (First gene from mother, second gene from father), Dd (Second gene from mother, first gene from father), Dd (Second gene from each parent)So this combination has a 50/50 chance of producing a dilute or a non-dilute.The foal has a 25% chance of being each of these colours: Chestnut, bay, palomino, buckskin.You must account for the variation in the shade of the coat also. If you get a very pale palomino, this can be similar in appearance to a very light grey horse. However, its genetics tell the real story. A grey horse is a single dilution gene on a black horse, with a double dilute of black being a colour known as 'smokey cream' which is indistinguishable from cremello and perlino. Many people think smokey cream, cremello and perlino horses are albino, but the true albino gene is fatal, with the foal aborting, being stillborn or dying a few days after birth.If you bred your buckskin mare to a black stallion, you may get a grey baby, but there would only be a 25% chance once again, the foal could be bay, buckskin, black or grey. If you bred to a grey stallion, two dilution genes come into play and the foal would have a 50% chance of being either grey or buckskin, 25% of being black or bay, and 25% of being smokey cream or perlino. (Replace coat colours for breeding a buckskin to a palomino).Answer 2:Grey is a dominant gene so one parent would have to be grey...no grey no possibility of a grey foal.Keep in mind that the grey color is independent of the base coat colors...a grey foal generally has anywhere from a few to many white hairs in it's coat at birthif it has the grey gene, barring that they show up around the eyes and or base of the ears when the foal begins to shed it's foal coat.
What is a very pale Palomino called?
for howrse it is Isabella It is not a palomino at all but a cremello. A palomino is a chestnut horse with a single dilution gene. Instead of having a reddish-brown body, mane and tail it has a golden body and a white mane and tail. A cremello is a chestnut with two dilution genes. It has a very pale gold body and a white mane and tail. Bays and blacks also have dilutes and double dilutes - bay, buckskin, perlino and black, grey, smokey cream.
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
What is the difference between Bianco Romano and Bianco Perlino?
Bianco Romano is a Granite quarried in Brazil, and Bianco Perlino is a Marble quarried in Italy.
A perlino horse has two cream alleles on what base color?
bay
What do you breed a sorrel to to get a buckskin?
Find a Perlino Stallion who is genetically AAEECrCr and the breeding will produce 100% buckskin foals no matter the genetics of the mare. If the stallion is AaEeCrCr or AAEeCrCr the foal could be a palomino. The chestnut mare could be aaee, Aaee or AAee combinations with a stallion who has Aa genetics where the mare is aa or Aa at the Agouti site could produce a smokey black.
What colors are Ponies of America?
The Ponies of America can be one of the six Appaloosa colors. These colors include bay, buckskin, black, chestnut, palomino, cremello, perlino, roan, and grey.
What colors does it take to have buckskin foal?
To practically guarantee a buckskin foal you need to breed a bay with a double dilute (either cremello or perlino) The double dilute will always pass on one of the dilution genes. Bay is dominate over chestnut so the chances of producing a palomino are reduced, but you will always get a single dilute foal with this combination. Palomino - dilute chestnut Buckskin - dilute bay Cremello - double dilute chestnut Perlino - double dilute bay
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 color of horses is a modification of the basic color?
The basic colors are black, chestnut, bay, brown. The modifications would be; palomino, buckskin, smokey black, cremello, perlino, dun, champagne, appaloosas, paints, roans, etc...
What color is not possible to produce when breeding two palominos together?
All foals will be either chestnut, cremello or palomino. None of the foals from this mating could be bay, black, buckskin, perlino because both parents are homozygous ee at the extension site.
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.
What colors can a horse come in?
