* Palomino Genetics: Palominos have a specific genotype: one copy of the "cream" gene (Cr) and one copy of the "chestnut" gene (E).
* Cream Gene: The cream gene dilutes the base color of the horse.
* Possible Offspring: When two palominos breed, the possible offspring genotypes are:
* CrCr: Cream (very pale, almost white)
* CrE: Palomino
* EE: Chestnut
The color you cannot produce from breeding two palominos is black. This is because neither parent carries the "black" gene (a).
