With enough genetic information a specific coat color could be quantified, but the trait is qualitative in as much as it can be described but not truly measured.

For example. Horse aaEE is black as is horse aaEe however horse aaEe is blue black and horse aaEE is black. While another horse aaEE is blue black and Another aaEe horse is black.

Any horse ee is chestnut...but there is liver chestnut, red chestnut, orange chestnut

sorrel, et cetera.

A quantitative analysis may yield the results of gene frequency in a population or

the specific number of individuals in a breed that are a specific color...but the full spectrum of color variation will not be addressed by a quantitative approach.

What is Quantitative trait loci?

Inheritance of quantitative traits or polygenic inheritance refers to the inheritance of a phenotypic characteristic that varies in degree and can be attributed to the interactions between two or more genes and their environment. Though not necessarily genes themselves, quantitative trait loci (QTLs) are stretches of DNA that are closely linked to the genes that underlie the trait in question. QTLs can be molecularly identified (for example, with PCR) to help map regions of the genome that contain genes involved in specifying a quantitative trait. This can be an early step in identifying and sequencing these genes http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polygenic_inheritance
