Not to be rude but I would write more about these colours instead of just showing us pictures. I’m Sure all of us would love to know more.

Also, while your info on Classic and Amber are correct, your pictures are mixed up. =)

Just a helpful fact on The Silver Champagne… The horse cannot be a chestnut+silver+champagne, as silver has no effect on chestnut, only black based horses (black and bay)http://www.vgl.ucdavis.edu/services/coatcolorhorse.php
The horse could either be:
a+N/Ch+N/Z
a+Ch/Ch+N/Z
a+N/Ch+Z/Z
a+Ch/Ch+Z/Z
A/a+N/Ch+N/Z
A/a+Ch/Ch+N/Z
A/a+N/Ch+Z/Z
A/a+Ch/Ch+Z/Z
A/A+N/Ch+N/Z
A/A+Ch/Ch+N/Z
A/A+N/Ch+Z/Z
A/A+Ch/Ch+Z/Z

a= Black
A/a= Black + 1 copy of the Agouti gene
A/A= Homogemeous Agouti
N/Ch= 1 copy of the Chamagne modifier
Ch/Ch= 2 copies of the Champagne modifier
N/Z= 1 copy of the Silver modifier
Z/Z= 2 copies of the Silver modifier
