Sunshine
General description
In addition to the already known colour dilution genes such as Cream and Pearl, a further variant for dilute the coat colour has been discovered. It is assumed that this dilution is similar to Pearl. As well as Pearl, Sunshine can interact with Cream to produce pseudo-double Cream dilute phenotypes.

Detailed description
In addition to the already known colour dilution genes such as Cream and Pearl, a further variant for dilute the coat colour has been discovered. Sunshine is inherited autosomal-recessive, that means only if the gene is homozygous (Sun/Sun) the basic colour of the horse is diluted. It is assumed that this dilution is similar to Pearl. As well as Pearl, Sunshine can interact with Cream to produce pseudo-double Cream dilute phenotypes.
