So I'm having a hard time figuring out the color of my filly. If someone would please tell me and explain a bit about why she's that color so I can better understand for the future that would be awesome. :D Thanks!

The lack of black on her legs assures that she's a chestnut and she's really shiny especially on her head so definitely metallic because of it c: And the lightened mane and tail are flaxen because it's lighter than her body.

I'm certain that her gene for dun is D/d because her father appears to be D/D and her mother d/d.

Plus she's got a slight dorsal stripe and if you look really closely at her knees and hocks, the slightly orange color goes up into a v point on her inner leg. The v point contrast is usually an indicator of dun.
