What colour Julips do you have?

[george]

Inspired by Stacey's post turning into a discussion of Julip colours, I thought I'd sit and tally up what colours I already own, and whether there's any big gaps in my collection!

Apologies if this list becomes a little long, but I've been collecting for a long time, through seven different painters who've done colours in different ways, and I'm sure there's going to be quite a bit of variety as I start scrolling through my herd!

black

medium chestnut
flaxen chestnut
liver chestnut
red chestnut
haflinger-style pale chestnut

medium bay
dark bay
light bay
exmoor mealy bay

brown

white grey
light grey
dappled grey
mulberry grey
rose grey
fleabitten grey (plus Julip's old signature fleabitten grey with dark points)

palomino
sooty palomino
pale (isabella) palomino
cremello
perlino
buckskin

yellow dun
mouse dun
blue dun
grey dun
dunalino (palomino dun)

amber champagne

silver black (that rocky mountain horse colour which looks flaxen chestnut)

blue roan
brown roan
bay roan
dun roan
chestnut roan

piebald
bay skewbald
chestnut skewbald
dun skewbald
brown skewbald
grey skewbald
palomino skewbald
sabino roan
manchado (special patchy roany pinto colour for the criollo Mancha)

leopard appaloosa
semi-leopard appaloosa
blanket appaloosa

Having a quick look at a colours chart made for real horses, the major gaps in my collection seem to be :

frame overo pinto - I've got a custom painted as Hidalgo, but no originals at all!

red dun - all of mine are black or bay based duns, nothing with a chestnut base (cream body, ginger points and mane & tail)

frost, varnish/marble, snowflake, few-spot or snowcap appaloosa - I seem to like leopard/blanket/somewhere-in-between

LOTS of the possible mixtures of cream/silver/champagne/pearl/dun which can each apply over the top of each other and create new colour combinations

Anyone else fancy going through what you've got already, and working out if there's any obvious - or more obscure! - colours you've not got yet?

The colours you are missing all seem complicated! I hope you are not getting any ideas!

George this is fascinating! This list is going to be very useful (bad luck Laura 🤣🤣)

You mean you don't fancy doing a frame overo pseudo-double dilute pearl appaloosa, Laura? I can't afford ideas, though, this is all just speculation and cos I like ticking lists to keep track of what I've already got!

This is the colours chart I used, Samantha, if you feel like having a go through all possible colour and pattern combinations rather than my shortened list :

Ooh, that’s such a good list, thanks for sharing! *putters off to compare with the Dartmoor Army*

Laura created this beautiful Pearl-diluted chap for me a few years back (I finally sorted my Flickr access ):




and I have this lovely Champagne chap that I bought from Stacey:

I think the most unusual dilute colour Julip I've got is Isaac the dunalino (palomino dun), but I got him second hand so I wasn't the one who had to dare ask Julip for something so out of the ordinary!



And this isn't quite Julip based but still model horse and coat colour themed - here's a post on my blog inspired by this thread, and some of the missing colours I've painted to fill the gaps!

Colours in my herd are:

- black - plain/completely solid

- dappled black - shaded with brown undertones

- red chestnut
- flaxen liver chestnut - similar to silver black,but a different colour
- dark bay
- mouse dun

Two dapple greys, one black based, other bay based.

Pattern wise:
- black frame overo/piebald
- black leopard appaloosa
- dark bay snowcap appaloosa with varnish roaning

I also have a white unicorn. In horses, white is technically a pattern covering any base coat, but since it's a unicorn, who knows how genetics work in them

There's tons of colours I don't have and want to have, but I've decided to focus on a specific horses in my orders that I really want for some reason - portraits, characters inspired by games or simply ones I came up with. Among others, on my list I have such colours as mulberry grey, perlino, double pearl black (orbay, not decided yet), classic champagne, a handful of silver dilutes, as well as some more appaloosa patterned horses - I love spots too much XD
