Dilute coat color guide
Perlino and cremello horses are both double-cream dilutes with pale coats, pink skin, and blue eyes. The difference is the base color underneath.
Quick answer: Cremello usually comes from a chestnut base. Perlino usually comes from a bay base and may show slightly darker points on the mane, tail, ears, or lower legs.
Color is useful for identification, but it should lead into real horsemanship: hoof checks, skin observation, hydration, turnout protection, and recovery awareness.
