Liver Chestnut (horses) Color 546 - #987456

This color is usually a light, slightly yellowish but not noticeably so without close inspection, chestnut variety. It is not technically a variety of liver as it is not dark and is closer to Palomino, but it is often mistakenly termed as such due to its similarity to the liver color in dog breeding. These horses may have white manes, therefore a recessive "star" forehead marking phenotype and a white mane/tail genotype. It is distinguishable from darker shades of Palomino due to its noticeably large brown saturation. It is the purest manifestation of the Chestnut genotype, therefore sometimes termed simply as "Chestnut."
