Cremello + Chestnut = 100% palomino
Palomino + Palomino = 50% palomino, 25% chestnut, 25% cremello
Palomino + Chestnut = 50% palomino, 50% chestnut
By the way, this last combo was originally considered the way to go when producing palominos–that way there wasn’t the risk of getting a cremello. That was back when the double-dilute was not desireable (and also not registerable by the AQHA)
You forgot Buckskin x Bay. LOL. See profile picture. I was a bit surprised to learn my mare’s dam was a bay. I even looked it up online to see if it was possible. It is the least likely color outcome, but it is possible.
We’re crossing a Palomino with a Bay in hopes to get a Buckskin LOL
At least now there are a lot of nice cremellos out there in most of the more “common” breeds or registries that you can quarantee yourself of getting some shade. Course with my luck I’d get a smoky black.
Just for fun here is a page that shows how non dun foals can mimic duns. http://members.aol.com/battyatty/sootfoal.htm
I apologize in advance if the answers to my questions have been answered elsewhere.
Why do some buckskins have deep black lower legs and some seem “washed out?”
Do you get a different shade of buckskin in you breed to a seal brown (dark bay) horse?
How do you get that deep palomino color as opposed to some of the other colors?
Congratulations on your beautiful horses of a “different color.” I hope I can join your ranks soon.
