GRAY, or GREY, a mixed colour partaking of the two extremes, black and white. See DYEING Index.
In the manege they make several sorts of grays; as the branded or blackened gray, which has spots quite black dispersed here and there. The dappled gray, which has spots of a darker colour than the rest of the body. The light or silver gray, wherein there is but a small mixture of black hairs. The sad or iron gray, which has but a small mixture of white. And the brownish or sandy-coloured gray, where there are bay-coloured hairs mixed with the black.
