A bay mare sired by a palomino stallion, What color could the dam of the bay mare be?

Since stallion is red-based, the dam has to be the source for the black gene in the foal, so mare has to be bay or black, ignoring any other colour modifiers (i.e., creme for buckskin, dun factor, grey, etc.).

Unless of course Silver (Taffy) could be involved and one of the parents presents as chestnut but is really bay.
