I would say light red and cream

When we had a foal in horses we'd call it cremello.The cremello color is the result of the action of two cream genes on a red (chestnut/sorrel) horse. Where one cream gene on a red produces a Palomino, two of them create the cremello.

As for goats not sure they identify the color for registration purposes. I'd call and find out if they do.

We had a black goat with white belly band and a dark brown goat with white make light red and cream... It was surprising.

His mom was black with a half belly band and daddy was pure white. The dam always thrown black kids, except for last year(his full sister, pure white) and this year. He has two brothers(same kidding) that are reddish brown! I have no idea where that came from, its a pretty color though
