What’s His Color?

Post by Laura Lightwood »

I don’t normally do this, because I like to think I’m good at guessing the color. But this time I’m stumped. I see stripe-looking things on his legs that I don’t know what to call. Also, do I call him grey or dark grey or what?

He looks like a Grullo horse which can also be called a Blue/Black Dun w/ Tiger Eye... Im not the best with colors so I'm not 100% but BlackOak2 is great with them.

Also viewtopic.php?f=13&t=2158 that's a good reference for colors :)

He's Grullo with Tigereye

:D

Already answered.

For future reference, when you see those stripes, they're a direct consequence of the dun gene. Though not all duns will have them, if they do, you know that the horse at least has dun.
