Buckskin Stallion x grey mare

The foal has recieved the creme and agouti gene from his sire and the grey gene from his mother. What color would you call this.

Was there supposed to be a photo?

Without a photo to determine the foal's base color, its registered color will be GRAY.

With the limited info you've provided (cream gene and agouti from sire, gray from dam) I would say the foal is probably buckskin going gray. If the foal got an E for agouti to work on, that is black base, agouti makes bay and cream makes buckskin.

The base color is black


black base+creme+agouti+grey

Now what would you call that?

buckskin going gray.

Register as gray but have them note the base color of buckskin on the papers.
