What color is this?

There is no black on the legs, so I am assuming it isn't bay?
I would have thought it was dark/chocolate chestnut, but the black on the back & face is throwing me off.
She seems to have gotten it from her sire? He looks similar, however I can't figure out what his color is, either.

If you have a look at this mare's picture when she was younger (in her gallery), you can see that her base colour is palomino.
All Appaloosa patterned horses here display Varnish Roan which explains the crazy black and white areas. On her belly, you can see some Snowflakes and the white area on her croup is called a Snowcap (this hints that she's homozygous for PATN2).
