Cremello always p***** the cream gene.

Choc's grandsire Bernstein is darker than one might think but is a
buckskin and carries the cream gene.

When bred to a palomino mare he produced a cremello foal (Banquo) who
had to get the cream gene from both parents.

And that is what I know of color genetics. Except grey trumps 'em all
and a palomino going grey can be a very strange hue. :-)
