This is a collection of basic Knowledge that I have collected over time. It is not cement or guaranteed correct just a loose idea of how Horse colors and dilutes look in genetic code.
BB - homozygous+(always passes on one of the same gene)
bb - homozygous- (negative for specific gene)
Bb(n) - heterozygous(has 2 genes to pass on, only ONE may pass)
(b/n) - small letters indicate specific gene is turned off(ex: ee means there is no black present and foal will be red/chestnut)
(B) - capital letters indicate specific gene is turned on(ex: Ee & EE means Black gene is turned on to foal will be black)
Base Colors and Dilutes (Double Dilutes are common just add 2 and 2 together, Ex Red Dun Roan= ee/aa/Rr/DD[possibly])
