Smoky Cream

A black horse with two cream genes is a "smoky cream"; the hair is diluted to a light cream color, the eyes are blue, and the skin is pink.

In single doses, the cream gene has little or no affect on black pigment. In double doses, it does-- a smoky cream and a smoky black (black + 1 cream) look vastly different-- one nearly white, the other black-- visually opposites but genetically very close.
