Haven't had a "What colour" thread for a while

And I just got a decent shot of Willie the W***er in all his technicolour glory.
He's in his early teens, and we know nothing about his early life, other than he was found on a council estate in Dublin

LP and varnish affecting coat colour so very hard to tell the original base colour. My guess would be black as LP often causes a bronze tinge to them.

LP?

Leopard Complex patterns (known as LP) also called Appaloosa patterns, are distinct patterns that share the same genetic basis. These patterns are typically centered over the hips, with mottled skin, white sclera, and striped hooves. However, they are incredibly diverse, ranging from a solid color horse with only a few white dots to a near-complete white horse.

The Leopard Complex has several distinct basic patterns: spotted blanket, snowcap blanket, leopard, few-spot leopard, varnish roan, snowflake, frosted and mottled. These patterns can occur in isolation, but it is also common for horses to have combinations of two or more of the basic patterns within the Leopard Complex group

I'd guess black + LP (varnish) too but agree to far through the process to really know for sure.
