Very interesting! I always thought ears were a pretty good indicator!
So do you think this colt looks smokey black?

Hmm Danni, not really game enough to guess.
Leaning towards black, but really it is only a guess.
Pull out some hair & send it off, only way to know for sure.
Here is another of mine. Absolutely no chance of being smoky.

[quote="accphotography"]Danni, any blue in the eyes? That's more reliable than the ears, although still not that good.[/quote]
I've never noticed any blue, would he still have it now? I always thought his ears never looked much different from the black filly, so thought he probably wasn't a smokey black. But everyone else who sees him seems to be convinced he's smokey black. So I figure I'm pretty useless at picking smokey blacks as I've just seem too many different shades of black!!

I had to find them! :rofl My picture organisation on the computer is abysmal. (and relearn photobucket, as they keep changing how to get the codes for sharing)
Here's one that's uploaded to photobucket (hopefully this works):

This one shows the mushroomy colour of her foal coat, with the slicker coat underneat showing around her eyes.

Here's Ebony at less than 24-hours old:

I need to do some more digging to find the one that shows the golden glints around her eyes that developed after she did her full foalshed.
