Question Color Conundrum
I am trying to get my kids registered, and naming their colors is about to drive me insane! The first one is a perfect specimen of whatever color she is. LOL! There is not a white spot nor a moon spot on her any where. The other one I am tempted to simply call black. When she was born she was dark silver. Then She was a two toned weirdness. Now she's losing her winter coat (the red looking part is the old, scruffy hair) and it seems like she's just gonna be black with some white markings. I would be extremely thankful to anyone who is willing to help me figure out what to call them.

Anyone else have more thoughts? I really want to get this right.

Alice, Yep! If only identifying goat colors were as easy as horse colors!!! Thanks for the link. I scoured their site yesterday and couldn't find what I needed. I'll check it out now.

ETA: Alice, you're awesome! I believe she is chamoisee according to their description.

Yes the red one is chamoisee, but I couldn't tell you the shade of red over a computer monitor.
