You can also get Sabino and Rabicano genes making the horse look coloured and/or roan.
Not TB but a friend of mine has a KWPN gelding who is registered as coloured on his passport and with CHAPS. His parents are both solid coloured and when you look closely at his markings he is most likely an extreme sabino.
My 7/8TB mare is a bay rabicano (her full TB sire was as well), her daughter is chestnut rabicano and has a lot more white than the dam. My yearling colt is now developing the white ticking as well so is going to be another bay rabicano like Mum.
