Unborn foal questions! - expected height and colour??

[Hollyhorse]

I have two questions about my foal that's due in June:

1) Her mum is a blue blagdon (a coloured with white legs and grey/blue roan patches on her body) and her dad is a mid-bay. What colour do you think the foal will be?! Are they born their true colour or does it change? I heard that grey foals are born black...

2) Her mum is 15.3 and her dad 16.1hh so would I be right in assuming the foal will make about 16hh?
