Pearl: The pearl gene (formerly known as the Barlink or apricot gene) is a recently discovered recessive and cream activated dilution. Because it is recessive, one copy of the pearl gene will not affect coat color (if the cream gene is not present). Two copies if the pearl gene act as a double dilute on the coat, mimicing cremello, perlino, and smoky cream shades. The pearl gene combined with one cream gene produces horses that look very like the champagne dilutions. For more information about this gene and pictures of pearl horses, please visit the New Dilutions website. Heterozygous is (nPrl) and homozygous is (PrlPrl).
Pearl cream: bay + 1 cream + 1 pearl Palomino pearl: chestnut + 1 cream + 1 pearl Smokey Black Pearl: black + 1 cream + 1 pearl
