The Charoloais. There are lots of Red Charolais out there now.

If I'm not mistaken, the Charlois have 1 red gene and a diluter gene which causes the white looking color. This diluter gene also causes the Angus charlois x to be gray looking in color.

Valerie, you are mostly right.

A white Charolais has a base color of red and (2) dilution genes. A cream to light red one has one diluter and one non-diluter gene (the dilution gene is incompletely dominant over the non-dilution, so you get part way). If there are spots, many white Charolais are spotted (have spotting genes) but you can't see it until they are crossed on something that makes the offspring only heterozygous diluter.

That's the way I understand it. The color genes and the dilution genes work independently of each other.
