I know there are a few really good color experts on here who we all have had the pleasure of interacting! Honestly you guys amaze me with your knowledge! I have learned alot from you guys!

I thought it would be interesting to us color dumbs (lol) to know what colors are hardest for you guys personally (if that is possible), the hardest horses to figure out, and your favorite color!! And what color horses you have? Feel free to post pics!

U guys help all of us out so much! And you let us annoy the crap out of you with annoying and stupid questions! (I am guilty of that too), lol...

This is Summer a buckskin with a blanket and spots

And this is Maverick a black leopard

All these horse also have the LP gene and the PATTN gene.

I'm not an expert and still have alot to learn. I find colors very interesting. So correct me if I'm wrong :):)

ummm Combo pinto patterns/subtle pinto patterns are my worst, or the Pseudo-double dilutes :) you never know what can be there without history or testing...

my favorite color is Roan, I LOVE a good classic roan, with really dark points :)
personally I have a Red roan QH, originally named...RED of course :D

Fox, Silver Bay Roan with APPY characteristics.

Maggie, Brown Pinto with IDK patterns :) definitely Tobiano, Sabino

And finally Cajun, my bay..that's it he's just bay...

Yes Wheatermay - just like that! I know that horse very well. Interestingly, in some seasons he appears just black and white. His dam is Auburn, a mare of the same colour, currently for sale. I like plain black silvers too. My friend Chelle owns Silver Fox. He's a super nice black silver.



His dam is a chestnut who hides silver.

That's cool! He's becoming famous on fb, lol! I love all colors! No such thing as a bad color! Good conformation on the other hand, is a must! There are so many colors out there! Some I hadnt seen until joining this sight!

For a while, I had a hard time telling the difference between the overo subpatterns. Now I am much better which I am glad. I have been working very hard on that. My favorite color I have to say is grey because my awesome pony is grey.... Here's a picture of him :)

For me personally I like grullas, and silver dapples on any base colour as long as it stands out.
This is my girl, a Nokota filly, her name is Spirit and she's grulla with grey. Shes a year old in the pics and hadn't started greying yet
