What colours for a cob? (Piebald)

[ItsJzo]

I am struggling to workout what colour will look best on my new boy..

I collect him next week so in the process of preparing for him!

I want matchy matchy for everything but I really don't know what colour, I want purple but on a gelding, I don't think that is suitable!!

So I have narrowed it down to.

Red
Mint Green
Baby Blue

Any other ideas?

Baby blue looks amazing on my piebald cob. He does have two blue eyes though which is why I chose it!

I thought about Navy Blue, but I think maybe it is one of those colours I will have to try as maybe it looks better than what my imagination is thinking?

Our girl looks fabulous in Pink

Seeing as you have a boy then baby blue, our girl also suits that, its lovely.

However so do the other colours.

The only colour I have found that looks dreadful on Piebald is brown.

I have purple on my coloured geldings but I'm cruel.

Ditto this; you can't go wrong. Personally I'd avoid red as looks a bit too in-yur-face, but that's just personal preference.

Ditto royal blue, which would probably look OK too. But would suggest you don't mix both red & blue otherwise you might look like a Union Jack gone wrong!

If you wanted to contrast the navy blue like for X-country colours: baby or eggshell blue with navy would look fantastic!

I really would have purple, if I could get away with it!!

And yes I agree brown would look a bit odd!!

I think baby blue or red because red is vibrant, and baby blue is oh look im innocent! haha

My daughter has a piebald cob and he most definitely looks best in pink!!

He really won't mind a girly colour, really won't moan to his field pals or get a complex

Just remembered, one of the most amazing colours on our girl was a really bright orange.

I bought two fleeces for £14 off a stall because no-one wanted orange Only bought them for home as coolers but they looked so good we used them for travelling for a year. With black travel boots and tail bandage they looked fantastic

I love hunter/ dark green for piebald cobs, really worked on my friends piebald, and it's more masculin.
