What colours do you use for your chestnuts?

[Babypony]

Following on from previous thread, pony has been purchased. I now need to get down to the serious business of choosing what colour head collar to buy him. He is chestnut with a flaxen mane and tail. I use a darkish turquoise (woof wear ocean) on my liver chestnut. Not sure if that will suit the flaxen mane and tail though. What colours do you use on your chestnut horses?

I detest colour.

Brown tack, brown headcollar, brown numnah

My friend's chestnut looks fabulous in magenta

Green - anything that isn't leather is green for Reginald

ETA - anything bought new for him! He's currently in a purple turnout rug and his saddle pad is black. He has a lot of hand-me-downs as he was a pity purchase. But he is luminous Ginger and looks good in emerald green.

Various shades of blue

The only colour mine gets is on her head collar


I’m not a pink fan but I think it suits her. Otherwise it’s brown tack and numnahs I’m afraid.

teal

Mine has a golden sheen to his chesnut so he looks good in bright colours - yellow, teal and dark green, and black.

Dark green or brown

light pink, teal, green, blue, purple!

I don't have one myself, but I like them in teal, bright turquoise, green or cream.

I had a liver chestnut who looked lovely in bottle green or brown. But I’m not one for bright colours!

My heading towards liver chestnut had a green headcollar and the bright chestnut has a royal blue headcollar.

Mine varies from dark to bright chestnut with the seasons, she also has a flaxen mane and tail. She looks great in dark green, most shades of blue and brown. Red is bad so is pink- purple is ok- it was my compromise many years ago with my daughters' who wanted a girly pony.

I tend to stick with the classic colours - Navy, Burgandy or British Racing Green... oh and the newmarket stripes. I find they suit most horses My liver chestnut looks stunning in burgandy (which you wouldn't expect!)

Ooh I was considering yellow

Thanks everyone, with all the recommendations that said greens/blues I'm going for a light turquoise/minty colour. Will post pics of pony in new headcollar when they arrive (and possibly matching cooler rug, which they don't need).
