Colors

Here are two paints (pintos)  The black and whites are called piebalds and the brown and whites are called skewbald.  (these are the English terms for them)

This horse is grey, which is horse terms for white.  So if you hear someone say,"I just bought a white horse," they're wrong!  They bought a grey horse.

This horse is a chestnut.  Don't get it mixed up with sorrel though! (see below for sorrel)

If this looks like a palomino, it's not.  It's a sorrel, also called by some people a flaxen chestnut.  It's kinda like a chestnut with a creamy mane and tail.  See below for palomino.

This is a palomino.  They are golden with a cream colored mane and tail (some people call it a white mane and tail)
