Dunskins can range in shade, but are generally paler than a bay dun. They lack the true orange-gold tones of a golden buckskin, and when compared to light or buttermilk buckskins, the difference is usually still quite clear.

As you can see in the above examples of light or buttermilk buckskins, their colors are creamy-yellow with slight orange tones in their darker areas.

But our example of dunskin is a peachy-yellow, retaining some pale red tones from the unique dilution effects of the dun gene on the red of the bay base color, even when accompanied by a cream gene.
