Settle an Argument:What is "Sorrel?"

Half of the people in our barn say that sorrel is a red chestnut (that's what I thought when I was a kid and I had a red chestnut horse), and half say that sorrel is a lightish chestnut with a lighter mane and tail and lighter hair around the edges, legs, muzzle, etc., like you find in some draft horses. Settle the argument...who is right?

that definition is interesting, as my gelding is a chestnut but has a dredominantly black tail, or at least very dark. also, he has some white hairs flecked through his coat which i thought was unusual, but he's a TB so that rules out any possibility of his being a roan. :? will take some pics and post them.
