What is this colouring called?

[midi]

Sorry if this is a really dumb question but is there a particular name for this type of colour?
Black mane - grey body. Or is it just still called a Grey? I just find it so stunning.

Not entirely sure perhaps a grey roan? Gorgeous horse tho!!!!!!!

The mane and tail will eventually grey out, some just take longer than others. It's a grey, very pretty though.

Grey, mane and tail will go white eventually along with the rest

lol of course- i looked at the colour and the head on the second pic, not the top one lol!!

that would explain why i thought the top one looked like a dapple grey, and the head shot looked rose grey- duh!!!

gonna go *attempt* to wake myself up and bang my head on the desk lol

My girl is this colour at the moment (she's 5) and i'm gutted she won't stay like it! A few people have called her a "Scott's grey" because of the famous painting. I just refer to her as "grey" though, she has brown ears, black legs, a black mane, a two tone tail - black at the top and white at the bottom, a white face with dark rings round her eyes and muzzle and a dappled body. I wish I could get round to sorting out a photobucket account!

Rose grey is when a genetially chestnut horse greys out. When it looks pink or sort of a strawberry roan (which it isn't as it doesn't have the roan gene). I hope that makes sense, I'm feeling quite tied and so the brain is slow today.

^ Rose grey.

Thank u- something I didn't know

God knows what you call a bright bay that is greying out, or even if there's a special name for it?

I would guess that the two horses in the OP were born bay, hence the black manes and tails.
