pinto

Two-toned horse

Pinto describes a horse or pony with patches of white and another color, typically brown or black: a pinto mare, riding pintos across the range.

The pattern is irregular and splotchy, distinct from the uniform markings of other coat types.

Pinto beans have a similar mottled appearance—pale pink or beige with darker streaks.

In the American Southwest, pinto beans are a dietary staple, often served whole or mashed as refried beans.
