Cremello

Icelandic: Albínói or hvítingur. Description: The foal is born snow-white with little pigment in the eyes, and stays that way. A 25 year old cremello. Svanur from Lóni. Š-LUKKA Svanur shows well the pink skin, the glass eye, and the white hair of the cremello. Š-LUKKA. How cute can you get? Š-Tim Kvick Foal color: The foal color is the same on a cremello foal and on a cremello adult. A cremello foal shows it straight away, as opposed to a grey foal that is born with "a color". Svipur from Norđurstjarna, 1 week old. Š-Debbie Cook Some genetics: The cremello color is caused by a Ccr gene in the C-locus, on a horse with chestnut base color. The cremello has gotten the Ccr from both parents, that is, is homozygous CcrCcr. If you mate a cremello with a chestnut, all the foals are palomino. To make it more complicated, a horse with a black or bay base color, that is also homozygous for Ccr, looks very similar to a cremello horse, exept the white color is often more yellowish than on a cremello. But, these horses are not called cremelloes, they are called perlinos or smokey cremes. The gene combination is a bit different, but the looks are virtually the same! The color in different languages: Norway: Glassoyd hvit. Denmark: Albino USA: Cremello UK: Glasseyed white Germany: Albino Swedish: Gulvit BACK TO COLORS
