blue roan

Steel-colored equine coat

Blue roan describes a coat color in horses where white hairs are evenly mixed with black hairs across the body, creating a bluish-gray appearance.

The head and lower legs typically remain solid black.

Unlike gray horses, which lighten with age, blue roans maintain their color throughout life: a striking blue roan mare.
