A great quick reference guide, it really helps me explain to other people what all the horsey colours actually are. Thank you for your lovely work.

Lovely reference.
Alsooooooo Frame, Sabino, and Splash are all Overo patterns. Then we have Dominant White and Manchado (which may be a severely recessive Overo pattern or an environmental factor...with more research we may find out).
Blue eyes are caused only ever by double cream dilutions, Frame, Splash.

Thak you for your beautiful work about Horses Colors.
Is the best thah I found!!!
Congratrulations.

Good work!!
Will have to do something simular in a month or to for a project of mine and it will have to exsplain enough about horse color genetics enough for not horse people to get XD.
Only think you might add is references to maximum sabinos, dominate white (there are 7 different ones as far as I know), and Pearl, which is simular to cream but only shows if there is 2 copies or combined with at least one cream or champagne gene (its though to be a mutation or variation of cream but a horse can carry 2 pearl and 2 cream - its been associated with Lusitanos if I remeber right but has been noted elsewhere - they are often mistaken for creams or not at alls ince 1 copy on a black does not show at all). Then there is Brown/ Seal Brown (a vatiation on Bay). Seal Brown can often be mistaken for Bay, but it is a separate gene. Some look almost Black but have brown in certain place, too tired right now to remember specifics but it works on a black bas the same as bay does without the black legs and points, its more of a all round modifier but has distinct areas it can be lighter/darker on. The base colors then would be Chestnut, Black, Bay, Brown. Miscellaneous modifiers Gray - the 'white' type, dappled, flea-bittin with addition of the bloody shoulder only possible on Arab and descendants, Flaxen (only effects red based mane and tail), Bend'or spots, and Brindle. I know I am forgetting one more but like said am tired and close to my bed-time.
Peace and Carrots.

Yep, I'm still planning a couple more, just got sidetracked by real life stuff xD There's a "Modifiers" in the works for Grey, Sooty, Mealy, Flaxen, Brindle, etc. and maybe a "Markings" too for traditional leg/face markings. And if I'm feeling REALLY ambitious, a "Misc." one for manchado, dominant white, pearl and the like. We'll see how that goes lol

They are for the base colours and written in layman's terms for the simple dilutions, but some of the various white patterns are REALLY complicated, caused by multiple genes, and in some cases not fully understood, which is why the genetic codes aren't there.
But for the easier ones: TO = Tobiano, O = Overo, SB1 = Sabino1, R = Roan. Tovero is a horse that carries both Tobiano and Overo genes. Splashed white and Rabicano genetics aren't completely understood.

And here are the pintos! I just left a comment on your VHR thread requesting them. Beautiful work.

You should do things like birdcatcher spots, tetriarch spots, bendor (smut/grease spots) bloodmarks and bloody shoulders.

I'm planning on it. There's going to be another one for modifiers (mealy, sooty, flaxen and grey), one for appaloosa patterns, and one for "other" (manchado, bend or spots, badger face, etc). I'll probably do another for leg and face markings as well. Don't worry the series is far from done XD

If you need the genotypes for each colour just say. I am doing equine genetics in university right now.

Awesome! I was going to include those, but I couldn't be bothered to work with the superscript for things like Ccr so I just put the layman's terms XD

Yeah. Not like most people need them unless they intend to breed for colour.

I couldn't help but notice the sabino has blue eyes. There is no evidence to suggest sabino gives blue eyes.
Blue eyes come from frame overo and splash white and double dilutes, and on the topic of double dilutes, your cream gene one is lacking blue eyes on the cremello, perlino and smoky cream. Hope you don't mind me nitpicking over that. XD;
