| The palomino color is the result of the action of one cream gene on a red (chestnut/sorrel) horse. Palomino horses come in a wide variety of shades, anywhere from nearly white (isabella) to nearly brown (chocolate). See the Color Chart to learn more about the color possibilities the cream gene creates.

This site is not intended to give the visitor a complete education in the science of equine genetics, but merely to explain the cream gene in layman's terms, and thus help dispel some of the myths associated with it. If you have questions about these horses and their coloration, please visit the Cream Gene Facts page, or our Color Discussion Board.
The American Quarter Horse Association had a rule on its books, 227i (formerly known as 227j), that disallowed registration of purebred Quarter Horses with two cream genes. The organization that has gotten the AQHA Rule 227i eliminated has an email list you may join:
