Crossbreeding Grades

Hi! I have a couple questions about breeding grades and crossbreeds.
If I breed:
A Grade Arabian x Grade Andalusian, will the offspring be a Grade Hispano-Arabe or just a Crossbreed?
a Grade Arabian x a Purebred Andalusian (or vice versa), will the offspring be a grade hispano arab or a crossbreed?
(My real question...if I want to breed a non-standard color into an official cross like Hispano Arabe, should I be breeding pure hispano arabes to the colored other horse, and then breed back to hispano arabes for an eventual grade hispano arabe? Or can I breed the grade arab x grade(or pure) andalusian to achieve grade hispano arab?)
And...lastly...can you breed official crossbreeds back to their parent breeds and still get said official cross, or will it end up a generic cross?
Thanks for any help! Or just pointing me to an existing topic that might help. I checked the wiki but I still have these questions.
Q. A Grade Arabian x Grade Andalusian, will the offspring be a Grade Hispano-Arabe or just a Crossbreed?
A. You will get Hispano-Arab - Grade status is not reflected in official crossbreeds.
Q. a Grade Arabian x a Purebred Andalusian (or vice versa), will the offspring be a grade hispano arab or a crossbreed?
A. Will also be a Hispano Arab
Q. (My real question...if I want to breed a non-standard color into an official cross like Hispano Arabe, should I be breeding pure hispano arabes to the colored other horse, and then breed back to hispano arabes for an eventual grade hispano arabe?

A. You can do either one. But I think breeding already made grades might be easier?
Q. And...lastly...can you breed official crossbreeds back to their parent breeds and still get said official cross, or will it end up a generic cross?
A. You cannot breed crossbreeds back to their parent breeds and get the official cross. It'll end up as generic. You would then have to breed to each parent breed equally until you get a 50/50 mixture again. It ends up being a really big math problem and I suck at math.
Thank you so much! This really helped 😊
