DNA Tests: Additional Coat Color
$21.00
Silver Dilution: The silver dilution gene dilutes black/brown pigment to lighten the manes and tails of black and bay horses to a flaxen or silver gray.
Gray: The gray gene causes a progressive depigmentation of the hair, often resulting in a color that is almost completely white by 6-8 years of age, and can act on any base coat color.
Dun: Dun is a coat color dilution characterized by lightening of the coat, with the head, lower legs, mane and tail undiluted. Oftentimes, dun is also characterized by "primitive markings" such as a dark dorsal stripe, barring of the legs, shoulder stripes, and "cobwebbing" on the forehead.
Cream: Cream is a dilution that causes the palomino, buckskin, smoky black, cremello, perlino, and smoky cream coat colors.
