Okay, there are the base colors. Then I know that grey is a modifier. I was wondering if there are other genes that are considered "modifiers" also? Is roan? ...
Well, any gene that modifies the base color is a modifier, so in that sense, ALL of the color genes except the two base colors, red & black, are modifiers....

I would think modifier as opposed to dilution. Not modifiers include dilutions. Anything that diluted the original base coat is a dilution (creme, champagne,...
