	Equine Color - Horse & Pony Color Genetics Information
		Roan is a color pattern caused by white hairs mixing with colored hairs.
		On Roan horses the head, legs, mane and tail will be a solid color with maybe only a few white hairs present, any white markings on the head or legs may have roan edges but this is due to the white marking, not the Roan.
		Roans don't dapple as much as Greys, but when they do it's due to changes in the hair length and color due to the seasons.

	Grey Roan horse color
		Grey foals are born colored and become progressively lighter with age until the horse appears white, but the grey horse retains its dark skin, unlike a true white horse, which has pink skin.
		Roan is similar to grey in that it is a pattern of individual white hairs sprinkled into the coat.
		Unlike grey, roan horses are born roan and stay the same color throughout their lives (although they may appear lighter or darker in their winter coats).

		This is consistent with the homozygous lethal roan gene theory.
		Responsible roan horse breeders often consider any foal that appears roan born from both a roan and a grey parent, to be grey until proven otherwise (after 3-4 years of age).
		Asses or burros have a distinct roan gene that is different from the roan gene in horses.

		Mane and tail colors may vary from the same color as the body to a flaxen color and may exhibit a few fl hairs intermixed; however, the mane and tail are never fl.
		The coat color is generally a golden yellow and the mane and tail are always lighter than the body color.
		Red Roan: The roan color is produced by the mixture of a base color with white hairs throughout the coat.

	LlamaWeb: About llama colors
		Roan is a color modifier than can occur in conjunction with any other color.
		It can have variable effects on colors (darkening some, lightening others), can have variable expression in terms of age of expression (a baby may be fully roan, but have no roaning as an adult, or vice versa), or can be variably expressed on the body (with roan in some areas, but not in others).
		Black calico appears to be a common form of this coloration, in which the llama appears to be mostly fl (a very shiny, non-fading fl), with either a few red spots close to white markings, or with reddish fibers among the fl.

	Equiworld - Equestrian Information - horses and ponies on the internet
		However, roan horses are born roan, and the number of white hairs does not change much throughout life (it may change seasonally but after a year should be back where it started).
		Another way to tell grey from roan is that roan horses usually have dark heads, legs, manes, and tails, while grey horses usually go grey all over (but not always; some grey horses keep a dark mane and tail).
		Roans are given different names based on what the base color is. Some common names are red roan (base color red bay), strawberry roan (base color sorrel), blue roan (base color fl), and purple roan (base color mahogany bay).

		There are also light roan type horses; we own several who have a normal colored head and extremities, but there is a fair amount of white hair mixed in with the hair on the body, face and legs.
		True roans have their base color on head, legs and mane and tail with white ticked hairs all over their body, any roan to roan mating can cause lethal (weather fl, brown, bay or chestnut roan).
		There are actually very few true roans in paints, their is a roan look that sabino or cross pattern combination sabino's have and this is lots of white ticking caused by the Rabicano gene which goes hand in hand with sabino.

		Are colors that derive from diluted pigment, often changing the pigment from a deeper color to a lighter one.
		This color is the result of a chestnut background plus one Cremello gene which acts to reduce the red color of the chestnut coat to the yellow of the Palomino.

	American Donkey and Mule Society
		ROAN (GRAY, BLACK, BROWN and RED ROAN) - Roan is a color which is defined as a dark color of hair coat mixed with a moderate to large amount of light or white hairs.
		If the colored hairs in the coat are fl the donkey is a fl roan (very uncommon) if gray a gray-dun roan, if red/sorrel a red roan, brown - brown roan, etc. The roan color is very common in mammoth jackstock, fairly common in standard donkeys and seen only rarely in miniature donkeys.
		This color progressively lightens with age, often going through a dapple-gray phase (rose gray is a horse term for a bay or red animal in an intermediate reddish-gray stage), until the animal turns pure white with age.

	Roan (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Also, the head, legs, mane and tail of a roan horse are solid-colored and do not display "roaning." This makes roan easy to distinguish from grey, since the face of a grey horse is the first part of the body that begins to lighten when the horse is young.
		The common shades of roan are blue roan (roan on fl), red roan (roan on bay), and strawberry roan (roan on chestnut).
		The fact that some shades of roan have more than one name can get confusing, and it is never improper to simply refer to a roan horse by its base color followed by "roan," such as fl roan instead of blue roan.

	Genetics of Color in Peruvian Paso Horses by Jann Bach
		You can visualize these base colors as B for bay and b for chestnut (dominant colors are usually represented by capitals.) Your fl roan, I'm going to assume that this is the sire, is a bay horse with two altering factors, one for a dark coat, and one for roaning.
		Also, the Arabian breeders (since we only have 4 recognized colors, gray, bay, chestnut, and fl many breeders try to find the genetic color patterns of their breeding stock) have studied color inheritance patterns in Arabians enough to know that the gray color pattern is the sole color passed from the gray parent...
		Their color loooks like a roan, but because their heads, etc. are also steel gray and not base colored, I believe they are properly grays and not roans.

	Blue Roan Genetics
		The color of the horse's legs is controlled by the E and e locus alleles (we'll call it a gene, though that's not quite correct).
		The fl color is dominant over the red color, and is represented by the capital letter E. The red color is represented by the small letter e.
		Roans generally have a mane and tail that are solid and dark in color when compared to the color of the body.

		Some bay roans are very dark and look like blue (fl) roans - people often confuse the two; AND adding to this confusion is the fact that AQHA only recognized two roan color groups the red roans and the blue roans (more on this subject farther down the page).

		A recognizable phenotype (such as Roan color) that you can see, can be used as a visible marker, so you know what you are dealing with regarding a lethal allele that is almost always associated with it.
		In this particular sample, the loci on one chromosome strand on the Bay Roan parent were E and R.
		In the above example, the loci were close enough for the alleles to be transferred as a "team" most of the time, but not so close that a "break" in the chromosome "chain" was very unlikely to happen between the loci (which it did a couple of times).
