Strange Color

Post by LM4ever2day »

I got this mare the other day and I can't figure out what color she is. I know she is Tobiano but I don't know what her base coat is.

This is a signature... and it's a really good one too.

The base is bay and it may carry a dilute but I'm only really certain on bases so far. I can recognize most patterns and color genes, but cream, pearl, and champaign confuse me as do the various (blood, copper, etc) shades of bases, especially browns.

Thanks! I thought it was dun but the shade kept throwing me off.

Yeah, she's also sooty - making her appear darker

Due to the lighter brown on her belly and nose, I think her base colour is brown, not bay.
