roan
Roan is a coat color found in many animals, mainly horses, cows, and dogs. It is characterized by an even mixture of colored and white hairs on the body, while the head and "points"—lower legs, mane and tail—are more solid-colored. Roan is often distinguished from similar coat colors like gray or dapple by its consistent color distribution and lack of any kind of pattern.
