On a roan coat, white hairs are mixed evenly into
the main coat coloring, and the mane and tail may
also contain some white hairs. There are different
shades of roan, too, like strawberry and red roan,
in which white hairs are mixed into either a chestnut
or bay coat; blue roan, which is a black, or a black-and-brown
body mixed with gray-which gives the coat a blue
tinge; gray roan; and bay roan.
