Horse color? Weird purple undertone

Post by keefesassy »

Hi! I'm newer, and I was just wondering if anyone could tell me what color this horse is. It might just be me, but she appears to have a strange purplish undertone. I'm thinking dark bay.

Thanks!

She is a bay dun. The undertone that you're seeing is actually spots, which I believe is the result of being a sooty color.
