<Ul> <Li> Buckskin: A bay horse with one copy of the cream gene, a dilution gene that "dilutes" or fades the coat color to a yellow, cream, or gold while keeping the black points (mane, tail, legs). </Li> <Li> Champagne: Produced by a different dilution gene than the cream gene . It lightens both skin and hair, but creates a metallic gold coat color with mottled skin and light colored eyes . Champagne horses are often confused with palomino, cremello, dun, or buckskins . </Li> <Li> Cream dilution, an incomplete dominant gene that produces a partially diluted coat color with one copy of the allele and a full dilution with two copies . Colors produced include Palomino, Buckskin, Perlino, Cremello and Smoky Cream or Smoky black . </Li> <Li> Cremello: A horse with a chestnut base coat and two cream genes that wash out almost all color until the horse is a pale cream or light tan color . Often called "white", they are not truly white horses, and they do not carry the white (W) gene . A cremello usually has blue eyes . </Li> <Li> Dun: Yellowish or tan coat with primitive markings, sometimes called "dun factors": a darker - colored mane and tail, a dorsal stripe along the back and occasionally faint horizontal zebra stripings on the upper legs and a possible transverse stripe across the withers . There are several variations of dun: <Ul> <Li> Grullo, Grulla, or Blue Dun: A horse with a black base color and the dun gene . Coat is solid "mouse - colored" gray or silver (can also be almost brownish - gray) with black or dark gray primitive markings . </Li> <Li> Red dun: A chestnut base coat with dun factors . Coat is usually pale yellow or tan with chestnut (red) primitive markings . </Li> <Li> "Bay dun" or "Zebra dun" are terms sometimes used to describe the classic dun color of yellow or tan with black primitive markings, used when necessary to distinguish it from red duns or grullos . </Li> <Li> "Buckskin dun" or "Yellow dun" describes a dun that also carries the cream gene dilution and has a coat of pale gold with black mane, tail, legs and primitive markings . </Li> </Ul> </Li> </Ul> <Li> Buckskin: A bay horse with one copy of the cream gene, a dilution gene that "dilutes" or fades the coat color to a yellow, cream, or gold while keeping the black points (mane, tail, legs). </Li> <Li> Champagne: Produced by a different dilution gene than the cream gene .
