So in your humble opinion .....what colour would this little s%$tland be

 

[onemoretime]

I Would say he is a "smokey Dun". Would be interested to hear what others think.

 

[andraste]

I'm not a colour expert but I'd have gone for mouse dun.

 

[frankieman]

i would say behind that teddy bear coat he is wearing would be a nice mousy dun as his mane is dark and body a little lighter hard to tell with a huge fluffy coat but thats my opinion

I know exactly what he is. I breed them.

The colour is variously known as blue dun, grey dun, mouse dun, silver dun, grulla, grullo - along with probably a few other shades / names I've missed.

In technical genetic terms, it is a black pony with dun overlaying it.

The proper term would be grulla, but I do tend to call it either black dun (describes exactly what it genetically is) or blue dun (because it does tend to have that slate blue colour when in summer coat - in winter goes a very odd colour indeed!

I currently have four of them, and am praying my imminent foal will make five!

[Equinimity]

I'd call it Mouse Dun and I think most people would know what I meant.
