Can't figure out her color

I keep thinking about her color generically (dark brown). So what is really her color?

Re: Can't figure out her color
Technically, it depends on how the game is coded... Brown is a color that is in-between in real life right now... Theres a test in the works that is supposed to identify the brown version of agouti... which is similar to the bay version of agouti, but modified enough to be considered 'different'. There were some issues with that test that is supposed to be getting worked on currently.
Assuming the game is coded to believe that to be true...
Your mare would would:
E_ - she could be Ee or EE
At_ - could be a combination of AtAt, AAt, aAt
There seem to be sooty genes coded in the game too, which are not testable in real life, but are hypothesized to exist. Brown is guessed to be influenced by Sooty as well, so your mare would likely have a gene or possibly two there.
There may be others with more insight to genetic coding in this particular game... but thats all I can say until we have working gene tests available, to know how the genetics are coded in the game.
