Where is the color Brown?

In horses, “brown” usually means seal brown (At)—a very dark form of bay. In the calculator, choose Base: Bay and (if offered) Shade/Subtype: Seal Brown (At). If no subtype option exists, select Bay.

How do I select Gray for my Sire or Dam?

Gray is a dominant modifier (G), separate from the base color. In the parent panel: Pick the horse's base color (Bay, Black, Chestnut, etc.) Toggle Gray (G) on. Notes: GG = all foals gray, Gg ≈ 50% gray on average.

Bu“Chocolate” in horses typically refers to the Silver (Z) dilution on a black-based coat (often called silver dapple). In the calculator, select Base: Black (or Bay), then add Silver (Z). Black + Silver (Z) → classic “Chocolate/Silver Dapple” look Bay + Silver (Z) → “Silver Bay” Chestnut + Silver (Z) → no visible change (carrier only)

“Taffy” is a regional term (common in AUS/NZ) for Silver (Z)-diluted coats. Use Silver (Z) with the correct base: Black + Silver (Z) → Chocolate Taffy Bay + Silver (Z) → Bay Taffy Chestnut + Silver (Z) → looks chestnut (carrier), still select Silver (Z) if you want genetics shown.
