(copied from wikipedia) Grulla is a color of horses in the dun family, characterized by tan-gray or mouse-colored hairs on the body, often with shoulder and dorsal stripes and black barring on the lower legs. In this coloration each individual hair is mouse-colored, unlike a roan which is composed of a mixture of dark and light hairs.

Probably the only truly rare coat "color" is brindle. The occurance of this coat color pattern is so rare that there is still debate on how it is inherited.

What coat color is usually red with white hairs mixed in the body?

If you are speaking of equine coat colors, the answer is roan. Roan coloration comes in various varieties also. If the horse has deep red coloration with white mottling and a dark tail and mane, it is a called a bay roan (due to the dark tail and main). Many of these horses, when their hair is groomed off look sort of lavender in color. A true lavender roan is the rarest color of equine and will sport white hairs at the top of the tail and base of the mane as well. An all over mottled roan horse who looks brownish is called simply a roan and has a light brown Maine and tail. When the roan horse is light enough to look as though it has a pinkish color, it is called a strawberry roan. One interesting thing of note is that genetically a roan-to-roan breeding is genetically lethal to a horses off-spring. For Howrse Archimedes' question: Red Roan
