I have one for you. My mare was a dun, her dam a sabino bay type color, her sire a red dun, she was bred to a gray, whose dam was a
chestnut, and his sire was a gray, she had a bay colt and a dun
colt, the dun has bars on all 4 legs, a dorsel stripe, just a
snip of white on his nose. His name is IM KEEN ON CASH, yes he is
great g-son of Dash For Cash. His colors baffle me, he has darkened on his withers/shoulders area under his neck/throat area
with black, I’d like to know if he could turn gray/dun or grulla
later, he is 2yrs.

Thanks for the info. about Hollywood Gold. I own one of his great grand daughters and she is registered as a red dun. Her grandfather, Hollywood JAC 86 is a red dun and her father, Hollywood 86 is a Palomino. Does the sire throw the dominate gene for color? I always found it interesting how HW Gold being a palomino was throwing all these different colors. His lineage is very diverse. I will be sure to read learn-how-horse-get-their-colors.

Hi Nancy, I checked with Andrea Caudill, author of the AQHA Colors series, and here is what she had to say:

Dear Nancy:

A liver chestnut is genetically the same as any normally-shaded sorrel or chestnut despite appearing dark, and it is not uncommon for chestnuts to have darker brown points, which might resemble bay. However, a bay horse will have true black points on its legs, ears, mane and tail. If your mare’s points are not true black, then she is probably just a liver chestnut.

You might also want to take a look at our previous posts on AQHA colors…

My late mare was what was called a liver chestnut. Sometimes she could be mistaken for a Bay. My question would be as to where her coloration fits in the scheme?
