Palomino or Double Dilute?

Friend's new colt born the other day and we are wondering if he is double dilute or palomino? AND if he is palomino, are the blue eyes from splash since he has a blaze?

Yes, the foal in the OP's eyes are bright blue. The OP says that itself (as well as my being able to see it *shrugs*).

Well okey doke. I still don't see it. I thought since she said "the" blue eyes and everything else was referring to "his" that the eyes in question were the dam's...especially since I can't see his are blue :( Anyway I still don't know what color he is LOL.

I suspect what you're seeing are his pupils. Overcast day so his pupils were probably pretty large. I know sometimes you don't see much of the blue on my mare if it's dark.
