Smoky black foals are born looking like normal black foals. Cream does not dilute black so it doesn't have any effect on their black color. Some black foals are born a normal black color and others are born a greyish pewter color, smoky black foals can be born either.
It was previously thought that gold hair in the ears of black foals indicated they were a smoky black. This has been proven to not be true.
