My Appaloosa mare (With both black and red in her roan coat) was bred to a cremello Appaloosa stallion. I hoped to get a buckskin or palomino. The colt was born black with pewter colored sides. His first shedding turned him bright red, no black on his legs, and he kept the black mane and tail. Next he shedded out and became metallic bronze with faint tiger stripes. He turned bright red again for his first winter. His yearling Springtime coat was....Purple!! In autumn he became dark chocolate (like semi-sweet Hershey's). I sold him then so I have no idea what color he is now or if he still changes. The Color Genetics lab at UC Davis tested him for free after I sent them pictures. He has the LP gene as well as a creme gene, a dun gene, a red gene and a black gene. He has no agouti gene. I have pics of him as a newborn, the bronze color and purple as well as the dark chocolate. Somehow didn't photograph him when he was bright red with his black mane and tail.
