PAINTED DESERT SHEEP COLORS |
SABLE: This color has the look of a wild rabbit with a variety of hair colors |
Painted Desert Sheep have a wide variety of colors. The basic colors are listed below. New colors not previously seen can even pop up now and then. The painted desert sheep can also have more than just a base color with one other color which is described as bi-color (two colors). There are also tricolored sheep which can have three colors and quad-colored sheep which actually have four different colors on one sheep! Hence the name ''Painted". These examples will be shown further into this website. The sheep can have a white base color with a darker color on this, or have a dark colored base with white markings. Patterns of these markings can vary a great deal from distinct spots to splashed markings, or mottled markings, and even freckling. Sheep can be minimally marked with light spotting or markings of a different color than the base color, or can be loudly marked which pretty much describes itself. Basically used colors are listed below and I have added descriptions to try to help describe that color in more detail. |
