Color Vocabulary

I have compiled another list of horse colors below.
I have done two other posts on horse colors already. To see either of these posts please click on the corresponding link here: Bay-Buckskin-Palomino-Black or Leopard-Piebald-Skewbald-BlueRoan-RedRoan-BayRoan-Rabicano-WhiteTicking-Sabino-Piebald-Pinto

Dun – A grayish-gold or tan coat with a dark mane and tail with a dark strip down the back. Duns are typically more of a creamy color versus the golden color of a buckskin.

Yellow Dun – Typical of a dun with a yellowish color.

Red Dun – Typical of a dun with a reddish color.

Chestnut – A reddish to reddish-brown coat color with a mane and tail that are the same color or lighter.

Perlino – These horses are white in color with pink skin and blue eyes. They have darker points in the mane and tails.

Cremello – These horses are similar to Perlinos as they are white in color with pink skin and blue eyes but they have light manes and tails.

Seal Brown – Dark brown, nearly black color with black mane, tail, and legs. They will have a tan or reddish color around the muzzle and eye areas.

Flea Bitten – These horses have a white coat with small freckles of reddish hair throughout the coat, the amount of freckles can vary widely causing the horses to appear almost white in some cases and almost roan in other cases. This is considered a gray coat color.
