| Silver dapple gene | In horses, the silver dapple gene, also known as the "Z" gene, dilutes the black base coat color . It will typically dilute a black mane and tail to flaxen, and a black body to a shade of brown or chocolate. Red based horses, such as chestnut, palomino, and cremello, may carry the silver dapple gene, and are capable of passing it on to their offspring, but will not express the gene in their own body color.
