Coat Color Pictures

I think the dunskin is fine. Some have factor that loud. The only thing I'd personally change is lighten the face mask considerably on that one (I have no problem with the shoulder bars though).

I say the prlprl black is dead on except for the hooves (the redo you did on the buckskin pearl hooves might be right on this one as well).

I like the yellow of the dunskin, and that black pearl looks good too!!!!

I know not all of them have it, but a lot of dunskins have frosting? Is it common enough to have on the dunskin pic?

Well both dun and cream cause it so yes, I would say it should probably be there.

It's really amazing to see what you're doing !!!!

Wow, wow and WOOOOWWWWW !!!!

VERY much like all three of those!

They look great. The only thing that I can think of on the duns (which is being very nit-picky) is that dun tends to 'dull' the shine a bit because of the way it deposits the melanin on the underside of hair shafts. It is not that they don't have a shine, just more subtle than most other colors.

I never noticed their dullness before! Weird!

Here's a duller one:

I do agree with that.

Oh yes that is much better! That is exactly what I couldn't exactly put my finger on!

That looks great!

Okay, I finally have more time to work on these again. I hate being busy... When I was running through the pictures I noticed that I don't have a decent one for heterozygous sabino 1. I still have the original that some people like and some people don't like, but I'd like to make sure there isn't a better example out there! So, any sabino 1 suggestions (heterozygous).

I'm running through a list of what I have and don't have:
Chestnut, black, seal brown, bay, palomino, buckskin, smoky brown, smoky black, cremello, perlino, smoky cream
All the white patterns (white, rabicano, roan, max sabino, frame, tobiano, homozygous and heterozygous splash, homozygous and heterozygous leopard, and grey)
I also have buckskin dun, palomino dun, chestnut dun, black silver, and the double dilute duns.

Last time I checked I was working though the pearls.

I need to do some buckskin silvers and some smoky black/brown silvers.

What else am I missing or do I need to backtrack on?

Is this buckskin silver close?

It depends on your school of thought. This is more what I expect to see when I see a silver buckskin:

However there are some that show no dilution at all. Tough call.

I agree cream seems to inhibit silver so.......it's anyone's guess really !

Yeh there's a big range with the silver buckskins isn't there, I guess I'd have the points more chocolate and maybe the tail just slightly lighter than what you have got. I mean we don't show a silver bay example where the silver dilution isn't very obvious do we? So I guess if you are going to show a silver buckskin, you show the more obvious expression?

Oh for hetero sb1 I personally think put something like this mare

I know they can be much more roany, plus they can be much less roany (like not at all LOL!). But I think that mare is a good inbetween to show sb1?

Man, are all silver buckskins lighter than regular buckskins?

Not necessarily.... If the body colour was that light, then I'd assume they'd be that colour without the silver?

No, some look EXACTLY like regular buckskins.

Okay,

silver buckskin:

And a new one: chestnut + 1 champagne + 1 cream

The gold cream looks good. If I had to nitpick the silver buckskin I'd say I'd expect the legs to be more faded and chocolatier... but again it is sooo subjective.

Like this diluted?

Oddly, I think that looks pretty darned accurate!

I see alot of similarities to him:

I'm glad it's accurate because it's a pain trying to match colors! The original silver buckskin legs were the same layer group as the silver black and silver bay, but that goes to show how one layer can affect one color correctly and another incorrectly.

And speaking of combos, does anyone have an good pics of a double dilute champagne?

I like that last silver buckskin!

A homozygous champagne or a homozygous cream with champagne? I'm almost certain I can point you to both.

Actually both would be good. Is there much of a difference between heterozygous and homozygous champagne?

IMO YES! Homozygous champagnes generally have much pinker skin and are paler overall.

Here's a fantastic example of a homozygous champagne (the first 5 photos obviously):

And a homozygous cream with champagne (no visible difference):

Is that super gorgeous homozygous champagne horse black based? Also, are those eyes typical of homozygous champagne, or is he just extra pretty?
