Horse Colors The underlying color, for example whether a paint is black (as in piebalds) or chestnut (as in skewbalds), is determined by the genes controlling horse colors. Similarly red roans are chestnuts with a roaning pattern, with the coat color and roaning determined by separate genes.herefore when first learning about horse colors it is generally helpful to initially ignore white markings. If you are specifically interested in spotting (appaloosas) or paints (“coloured horses”) then these patterns have a genetics of their own (discussed in other sections of this web-site).

Lipizzan Like all gray horses, they have black skin, dark eyes, and as adult horses, a white hair coat.

Real Horse Colors and Equine Color Genetics Bay is probably the most common of all horse colors, and it is the result of the agouti gene acting on a black coat. The gene dilutes the body color to brown while leaving the points (mane, tail, and lower legs) black, and it too can vary greatly in shade, from golden brown to bright blood red to rich mahogany.

Horse colors Grey horses have a dominant form of the G gene, which excludes pigment from hair. The dominant G allele is not really a color, but a process of pigment loss. That process has been likened to human greying of hair, in which a black, red, or brown haired person becomes eventually silver-headed with age.

Horse Often, a horse is classified first by its coat color, before breed or sex. Horses of the same color may be distinguished from one another by white markings, which, along with various spotting patterns, are inherited separately from coat color. Many genes that create horse coat colors and patterns have been identified.
