How many horse coat colors are there?

Answer 1

Black Piebald Skewbald Grey Bay Strawberry-Roan .... someone who knows about horses will know some more..... there are millions of different horse coat colours as each horse is individual, any horse can have mixtures of different colours but the ones i know are:

* bay...dark/light * dun * chestnut * palomino * roan...bay/strawberry/grey/blue/black/chestnut * grey...mouse/dapple/fleabitten/white * skewbald * piebald * appaloosa * brown (commonly mistaken for bay) * cream * isabelle * liver chestnut there are alot more than that though...i had a pony that was chestnut roan, with strawerry roan quaters, and a mealy muzzle (pale brown muzzle area) he had 4 white stockings, a huge blaze and wall eyes (blue) goes to show how much of a mix you can get. my opinion is that there are some definite horse colours, but there are alot of horses that are a bit of both or different altogether...

Answer#1 There are five basic colors: * Bay, (various shades of brown with black legs, mane and tail) * Black * Brown * Chestnut, (various shades of reddish-brown with red or blond mane and tail) * White There are also five major variations: * Dun (Buckskin) * Grey * Palomino, (golden blonde color with white or golden mane and tail) * Pinto * Roan There are a little bit more, if you count the names of the spotted coats (i.e. flea-bitten, piebald) so, there is probably about 15-20 coats. ANSWER #2:Within each color and variation, there are different terminologies for each color. Some examples are: in the Bay category, a dark red horse with black legs, mane and tail may be called a Blood Bay. (There are probably a dozen different shades of Bay). In the Dun or Buckskin category, there are Grullos. Then there are the Cremellos which are somewhere between a Dun and a Palomino (but can be almost white!) There are also the Appaloosa's, which can be a "Leopard Appaloosa" (a white body with tiny to large darker spots all over their body) or a "Blanket Appaloosa" (a solid color body with a "blanket" of white across their hindquarters that is usually dotted with colored spots) ANSWER #3: Although there are only about 10-20 basic colors, there are many variations to each type. So, really, there are hundreds of colors.
