New Colt born yesterday, Color help?

[RJRMINIS]

We had a new colt born yesterday morning, Mom is solid black, sire is a black & white pintaloosa. When he was wet I thought solid black, then as he dried he lightened up, so now I am debating between bay or a darker buckskin........which I can't figure out with the dam and sire being the colors they are.

Would love opinions on his color!

Here is his sire:

what a cute colt.

i am not sure about the color.

Is there any way that the dam could be a dark bay instead of black? Genetically speaking, you just can't get a bay (which is what your foal looks to be) out of two black parents. Or maybe the stallion is the dark bay?

Congratulations!!

My mom had a colt like that once, and it turned coal black as it got older

Gosh not sure on color looks maybe bay? One thing I know is he sure is a cute guy.

Cute baby....with lots of possibilites.

Either one of the parents could actually be "smokey black" and carry the creme gene.

Or...either one of the parents could actually be a black/bay and carry agouti.

So, your little guy could be Bay, smokey black, dark buckskin, or could end up just plain black.

could end up just plain black.

Just plain old boring black LMAO I for one never find black boring. Which is my vote for the colour of that baby boy. Nice colt congratulations.

Not a color expert. But I thought you had to have dark legs in and the characteristics there to have a buckskin. I would say bay myself.

Congrats! He's cute!

I would guess you've got a cute little bay! (I'm looking at both his coat and the color of the tufts in his ears.)

That´s a normal color for a black foal.

Congrats!
