It is really VERY easy, if you just forget all the fancy names for various shades.

All you need to know is that there are 3 basic colours : Black, bay and chestnut.

The black is uniform black, Bay has black "points", chestnut does not have any immediately visible black.

even if blacks tend to have a brownish sheen in most breeds.

( Look, my little visitor has become FAT cheers )

In USA they have names for various shades, but they are NOT neccesary.
All those names a just confusing, and IMHO only for people with a special interest in names.

The roans have white "woolen underwear", which shows mainly in spring, when they loose the long , stiff "overcoat, so the wool is very visible.

I once wrote some article for the Danish Icelandic association about horse colours.
here are some of the photoes that showed roan , - the horse is a young, black mare, called Gunlöd :

This is Gunlöd in December and February.
In December the black "overcoat" covers the white hair.
Later in the winter you can see the white hair , as she begins to shed the winter coat.
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
In spring her colour is most stunning :
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
As there is no wool in the face and on the lower part of the legs, they are black all the time.
Thus, in a bay, the face is always bay .

Here Gunlöd in summer, when she has short "raincoat" and short wool :
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
As most riding horses are kept warm all year round, they don`t have a heavy winter coat, and look like Gunlöd in summer most of the time.

BTW, here is the collage showing the black roan Gunlöd as she changes colour during one year, - the chestnut is her mom Wink

Unlike greys, a roan will change colour the same way all her life, as the seasons change.

That is amazing Susanne, thank you so much for posting this - it's incredible and beautiful all the colours Gunlöd changed to in different seasons, she looks like a completely different horse in each photo! Shocked cheers
Your meadow visitors look so healthy now, it's fantastic cheers

Yesterday was exciting, I had three parcels arrive, one from USA, another from Finland and one from Germany.
The first parcel I opened was Germany, I couldn't wait and save it till last as I'd been waiting a couple of weeks for it.
I won it on eBay for a fantastic bargain, the Lineol Eland!! bounce bounce
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
It's so beautiful, I can't understand why only a couple people bid for it scratch
Can anyone tell me who sculpted this one? There are more photos on my blog *Here*
Then I opened the parcel from USA, I did a trade with Kristie and she sent me this gorgeous Palm Civet - hurray for Kristie
[You must be registered and logged in to see this image.]
And last but not least the packet from Finland, Emilia (Deseo) did a trade and she sent me the cutest Collecta Dachshund, he's so tiny, I love him!

Thankyou, Harriet sunny

Yes, isn`t it amazing how the skinny little horses changed to balloons, just like mine Laughing Laughing
I will miss then terribly when they have to go home Crying or Very sad

Gunlöds owner told that people kept asking her if she had got a new horse, - in Iceland a stallion of this colour is often called "Litfari", - travels with colour Very Happy

Congratulations Harriet, eland, civet and dog are very nice! Of course the eland is in a different level for my taste. That's an extraordinary figure. curious that Lineol sometimes makes the antelopes even slender than they are in real but the result is quite artistic and pleasant although not enough atractive in modern concepts. Very Happy
I hope someday be a proud owner of a Lineol antelope! Laughing
I want also to say thanks to Susanne explanation about horse colors, it was very interesting and very well done but I already forgot everything. I'll read again! geek

I think I can tell you why no one at least from the us bid for it because shipping to the us was 17euros and that more than the animal sold for (correct me if I am wrong) and congradulations You got one beautiful eland

I will NEVER understand why some sellers won`t send the cheapest way !!! What a Face
Ok, so once in a very rare while a shipment may get list, but lets calculate :
People waat to pay just so much, so if you are willing to send cheap, you get perhaps 10 Euros more.
You earn 10 Euros more 55 times, - and then no 56 is lost ( or a buyer wants to cheat).
Then you pay the money back, but the seller still made 550 more euros, and perhaps has to pay 15 in replacement Laughing Laughing

Yes, it's ridiculously expensive and you'd have to pay more at customs probably too.
