Default Help with color genetics

Hello, I am new here and would love some help with genetics. I have been reading a lot but it has been years since highschool biology and I am a bit lost with colors here.

Looking for a list of possible colors (and how they come about) for the following Syrian breeding:


LH Cream female (father is LH cream banded x mother is SH cinnamon satin)
Bred to a
LH Sable male (parents unknown)

I know sable is an umbrus cream so I am guessing I have a great chance of cream pups, also there is always the posibility of golden pups (females littermates were cream, satin cream, golden, and satin golden). I am thinking also sable, black and cinnamon?

I would love to get others thoughts on this. Thank you

You won't get golden, black or cinnamon pups as both parents are cream / cream based so all the pups will be cream or cream based colours as all babies will get one cream gene from each parent. Cream is epistatic to black so even if they both carry black the cream would 'cover it up'
If the father carries cinnamon you could get red eyed creams and minks (Umbrous red eyed cream) If not it depend if the father is double umbrous or not. If he is then all the pups will be sable (or sable and mink if he carries cinny) If not you will get Black eyed creams and sables.
All the pups will be LH.
So basically it depends if dad carries cinny. If he does you could get BEC, REC, Sable and Mink. (unless double umbrous in which case only Sable and Mink)
If not you get BEC and Sable (unless he is double umbrous then all sables)
