My cremello has mostly black skin on his legs. He is a March 16 baby. His mane and tail are white with a dark hair or two. About the latest inch of new mane growth is blonde...like a palomino. What gives?

cremello and perlinos cannot have black skin.
So my thoughts are either he's not a cremello/perlino but some other color being confused as such. ORRR in the EXTREMELY rare event he is a CHIMERA which basically means he carries 2 diffferent color genes.
This is a case where a horse can be buckskin in 1 or 2 spots of their body and then like bay or sorrel in the other parts.
but as i said it is EXTREMELY RARE... and most likely not the case.
Can you post pictures of the foal? we could help identify more accurately what could be going on
