What color is he?

[GypsyMoonMinis]

When I first saw him (and bought him) at 3 months, he was a much lighter, almost cream color with darker legs, so I was thinking possibly a silver buckskin. Now at 7 months he's much darker. I noticed some faint dappling on his hindquarters, and he has a mottled appearance on his chest and legs. His mother is a sorrel overo and his sire is a black and white overo (AClassic Touch of Amarato or something like that is the sire). I don't know what they are tested for color wise. Anyways, I just can't figure this guy out. granted alot of his baby coat is mixed with a winter coat too. Im starting to think maybe a silver dapple?

Just by the pics I would say silver. Or possibly a chocolate (or sooty) palomino.

Oh! I hadn't considered a chocolate palomino

He looks like a silver dapple (silver black) to me. It's unlikely that he would be a chocolate palomino-- his sire would have to be a smoky black for that to be the case. Silver dapples can be very light-looking when younger, and they can go through many changes over the seasons and the years. Interesting color for sure!

Silver Black for sure.

I definitely agree, silver black, maybe silver dapple if he clips out with dapples next spring!
