In game, a brown with Hom Cream is a Perlino. In real life, I have no idea! In game a brown based buckskin is also still just a Buckskin and while I’ve heard of “smutty” buckskins that are very dark, I’ve never heard of any “official” term for a brown based buckskin in real life.

I honestly don't think it's an actual thing. Pretty sure you're right about it being a regional thing. Like how some call chestnut horses sorrels.
I just don't understand why a At perlino would be any different. It's still a perlino

I find regional and none genetic based color names really interesting. Dove grey is grullo, taffy is silver black or brown roan. It's all the same

The white pattern you posted looks a little like In Game KitM Roan, or perhaps Sabino Roan. But as far as real life, I’m really not sure but would again think Sabino of some sort with those high white leg markings...definitely defer to those who are more experienced though!!!

In-game, we have the luxury of being able to gene-test every horse and know exactly what they are. In real life, relatively few horses are color tested on every known allele. Thus, it's nice to have color names like dunskin/seal brown cream etc, but phenotypically, they present the same as a bay dun or a perlino, and so really it's impossible to tell. Technically, seal brown cream could be a name to use in terms of naming the genes that a horse carries (like black dun instead of grullo, or bay double dilute cream instead of perlino) but in reality, those names aren't widespread because people are calling horse colors based on what they see phenotypically. So I would say that seal brown cream is technically correct, but for practical use perlino works better because it is a term everyone knows.
