Update log
- version 3 (9/2016): updated to a more complete chart; more and better colors, better genotypes.
also added the 'not genetically proven' tag to the colors that are still vage when it comes to their genetic cause.
- version 2 (9/2014): updated the double cream colors for a better color representation.
- version 1 (1/2014)

/Note: If you want to use some genetic codes for your HARPG horses: At the "_" you can fill in "what you want"
For example: E_ can be EE or Ee, you can choose if you want your horse to be a chestnut carrier or not.
A_ can be AA or Aa
Ch_ can be nCh or ChCh
Z_ can be nZ or ZZ
Ect.

An underscore "_" before a slash, like "_/G_", can be any basecolor you want. For example: E_/aa/G_ (and a fully filled example: EE/aa/Gg) = a black horse with the gray gene, it will be black as foal and become more and more white as the foal ages.

/Note2: Pearl is another variation/allele of the cream gene. When a horse is homozygous for cream itself, it can never have a pearl allele too. There're only two 'spots' available. With homozygous cream (CrCr = 2 spots = full), there's no room for a pearl allele. Same for a heterozygous cream pearl horse (prlCr = 2 spots = full), it can't be homozygous for cream itself if the horse has a pearl allele. And for an homozygous pearl horse (prlprl = 2 spots = full), it can't have a cream allele.

/Note3: While flaxen only appears as phenotype on chestnut-based horses, pangare can only appear on chestnut- and bay-based horses (no black ones), while sooty can appear on all possible colors.

/Note4: For the chestnut-based colors (ee/__ horses): Chestnut-based horses do carry agouti, but it won't have an effect on the phenotype of the chestnut (Agouti only has effect when there is an E-allele present). With the chestnut-based horses I put two "_" on the place of agouti on the chart, because you can fill in all the possible combinations for agouti in that space: AA, Aa or aa. So, if you have a chestnut-based HARPG horse, it's smart to also fill in the agouti, so you will know what the possibilities are for bay/black-based foals when you are going to breed with it.

/Note5: There are three alleles of the dun gene: D, d1 and d2. D is the most dominant one, d1 is the second most dominant (d1 is non-dun, no dilution but possibly with primitive markings) and d2 is recessive (d2 is non-dun, no primitive markings and no dilution. For example: EE/AA/d2d2 is just a bay). Which means that a horse with genotype d1d1 or d1d2 is iberian dun, but a horse with DD, Dd1 or Dd2 is dun. Only horses with genotype d2d2 are not dun.
