Traits

Name: Single Cream

Base Genotype: CRn (on the same locus as Champagne and Pearl)

Skin Color: No effect. 

Eyes: No effect.

Description: Cream lightens the red pigments in the coat, and is an Incomplete Dominant gene. This means that one copy of cream (CRn) will look different from a horse with two copies of cream (CRCR). Cream does not affect black pigment. If combined with another dilution copy on the same locus, such as pearl (CRprl) or champagne (CRn CH_ ) it will cause the horse appear as a double dilute very similar to double cream. Cream has several names for it's variations, which can all be searched on for real-life references: 

• "Palomino" : a chestnut horse with one copy of cream
• "Chocolate Palomino" : a very dark variation of palomino, could easily be mistaken for a liver chestnut with a flaxen mane. 
• "Buckskin" : a bay horse with one copy of cream, can resemble a dun horse, but will have no leg striping or dorsal stripe.
• "Buttermilk Buckskin" : a lighter variation of buckskin.
• "Silver Buckskin" : the lightest variation of buckskin.
• "Smoky Black" : when a black horse has one copy of cream, it is barely noticeable. 

Design Guidance: Single cream has a wide range of color, but is always visible unless the horse is black. Horses may have lighter/darker variations of the examples below. Cream does interact with Grim and Ember; see dilution guides on their respective trait pages. 

A chocolate palomino horse can be as dark as this example, but no darker:
