Colour confusion: Filly with silver mane and slightly darker silver body
Hi,
I can normally work out colours but this one has me confused, so could I have a little help please? Thanks

She's not grey, she was born this colour (other pics in her gallery).

Re: Colour confusion: Filly with silver mane and slightly darker silver body
She looks to be silver Dapple Dun.
So silver Dapple in the game is a dark grey with dapples. It basically looks like dappled gray in the game. It is Z (the silver gene) and E (a black base).
You can’t see the dapples and it is a strange mousy gray cause of the Dun gene. It dilutes the body and gives a dorsal stripe and sometimes striping in the back, neck or legs.

Wow, I never would have guessed this one in a million years!
But yeah, now that I look at it, her lower legs are a different gray than the rest of her body, and I think I can see some super faint dun stripes there.
