Flaxen gene question

Sooo I don’t really understand the flaxen gene, I have horses with flaxen and it says in their colour name flaxen, but others with the same “ff” flaxen gene don’t say it in the colour name? 
Does it make horses less valuable if they don’t say “flaxen” in their colour name?

Edit - also where can I find out what colour can have flaxen gene?

Only chestnuts ('ee') and their derivatives show flaxen. Any horse can have flaxen, but it wont show if they are not 'ee'.

Flaxen is a red-specific recessive gene. This means it only affects the appearance of chestnut-based horses and only when both alleles are recessive. This gene turns the mane and tail to a light, creamy color.

flfl flaxen showing on the coat
Flfl non-flaxen carrying flaxen - means the horse does not show this trait but may pass it on to the subsequent foals
FlFl non-flaxen - means this trait does not show on the coat or their foals.

You can find out what breeds have flaxen by looking  - Forums → Game Guides → Genetics Guide
or by doing a search in the town - search horses and click on the + sign where it says search genetic information inputting the criteria you want.

Hope this answers your query 
:)

Thanks guys!
