Just a helpful fact on The Silver Champagne… The horse cannot be a chestnut+silver+champagne, as silver has no effect on chestnut, only black based horses (black and bay)http://www.vgl.ucdavis.edu/services/coatcolorhorse.php
The horse could either be:
a+N/Ch+N/Z
a+Ch/Ch+N/Z
a+N/Ch+Z/Z
a+Ch/Ch+Z/Z
A/a+N/Ch+N/Z
A/a+Ch/Ch+N/Z
A/a+N/Ch+Z/Z
A/a+Ch/Ch+Z/Z
A/A+N/Ch+N/Z
A/A+Ch/Ch+N/Z
A/A+N/Ch+Z/Z
A/A+Ch/Ch+Z/Z
a= Black
A/a= Black + 1 copy of the Agouti gene
A/A= Homogemeous Agouti
N/Ch= 1 copy of the Chamagne modifier
Ch/Ch= 2 copies of the Champagne modifier
N/Z= 1 copy of the Silver modifier
Z/Z= 2 copies of the Silver modifier

Also, while your info on Classic and Amber are correct, your pictures are mixed up. =)

Just a bit more on it that I didn’t see the link for on this page.
Not to be rude but I would write more about these colours instead of just showing us pictures. I’m Sure all of us would love to know more.
