Colors of Dun
Black Dun
Black Duns are more commonly called Grullo (GREW-yo). This is the most rarely seen shade of
the Dun gene group. Since it is a Spanish word, females are referred to as Grulla (GREW-ya) and
males as Grullo. This color is caused by the Dun gene on a Black.
Grullos are generally a smoky or bluish color and can vary from light to dark. Grullos consistently
have black points and usually have a dark or even black head, which is an identifying
characteristic of the Grullo group. The primitive marks on Grullos are characteristically black.
Just as with all colors shades of Grullo can vary from light to dark depending on the shade of base
color. They can be a smokey bluish color or a brownish color. Light or dark in either of those
colors.

Bay Dun
Bay Duns are probably the most common type of Dun. This group is caused by the Dun gene on
Bay and as Bay comes in many shades, so does Bay Dun. In bay Duns, the mane, tail and legs
do not seem to be diluted much at all.

The Dun gene seems to
be more concentrated
in diluting the body of
the horse than the
mane, tail, legs and
head. This would
explain why the points
on Duns are a darker
shade..A lot like true
roans to me just not the
white hairs.

Red Dun
A red Dun's body coat will be very similar to that of a Chestnut but it may be a shade or two
lighter and will be accompanied by the primitive marks in a darker red shade. Likewise the head
will also be a darker shade of red. Very pretty!

They have more barring

strong barring out from
the dorsal stripe too.
