The Cremello Akhal-Teke
This Ahkal-Teke horse makes the rounds on /r/pics periodically, so I thought I'd show you guys some of the other awesome colors horses can come in. This is cremello, a creme color base with blue eyes, but not albino or white. This is a result of the creme dilution gene, which has several variations.
Dappled Grey
Grey is an unnatural color in horses that is a result of artificially selected breeding. All grey horses will eventually fade to white, including the one pictured here. What differentiates a white-grey from a true white horse is all greys have black skin. A true white horse has pink skin.
Pinto
Pinto is the combination of white and another solid color. The combinations very greatly. This is a black/white pinto.
Buckskin Pinto
Dappled grey pinto
Blue roan
Black base with silver/blue.
Red roan
Bay Brindle
Grey brindle
Chocolate Flaxen
Classic Champagne
Champagne is a dilution gene, similar to creme. Classic champagne is black base diluted by the champagne.
Gold Champagne
Chestnut base diluted by champagne gene.
Perlino
A creme gene variation. Perlinos have a more reddish color, especially in the mane and tail.
Buckskin
Grullo
A buckskin variation.
Leopard spots
Commonly associated with Appaloosa horses, there are a couple breeds that are spotted, including the Danish Knabstrupper.
Mosaic
A combo of two solid base colors, this is very uncommon.
Red rabaicano
Sabino
Silver buckskin
Sooty on chestnut
There are many more color variations, but this is a good subset.
