A quick question for a friend...

I spoke w/ my friend who breeds Foundation QHs and she told me she is waiting for genetic testing info on one of her colts. She thought he was a cremello, but his eyes looked a bit funny. Not the clear blue of DDs, she says he has some amber flecks in them, making his eye-color look ... odd ... to her. Anyway, the reason she is genetic testing is someone told her the particular line he comes from has champagne in there and she is wondering if he IS a cremello or if he is a 1-cream & 1-champagne making him LOOK like a Cremello. Is it possible for cream/champagne to mimic cremello in phenotype?

Thank you for both of your replies ... though it looks like there is no clear-cut answer and she'll have to wait for the test results. I'll post them when she learns of them. I'll also ask if she has a pic of this colt, too.
