Well, I couldn't swing a prime-time slot on FOX, but hey, they have that whole Magic thing so I guess they're not interested in model horses. That's their problem.
The purpose of this page is to help you, the home viewer, create your own beautiful horses! My intent is to list the different hues I use for different horse colors.
This is a work in progress. More colors will be added as I get around to actually painting horses in those shades. I just started this list the other day so I've missed out on some of the combos of past horses I've painted. But look out for many more to come! Check back often.
Pictures will also be added as they become available.
Also, if you know of other breeds that some of these colors occur in, please email me and let me know so I can add them!
PLEASE NOTE: All paints listed are by Plaid unless otherwise noted. I do not list specific amounts of paint because I generally experiment and add more or less to create the right color.
ALSO: Some of the weirder colors (ie champagne) are NOT recognized by most breeds so are REGISTERED as different colors. Some champagnes are registered as buckskins or duns, for instance.
