I think the first foal is
I think the first foal is probably black. It's not uncommon for black foals to be born with a strong dorsal and even primitive markings. Grullo foals are generally a buff color instead of the slate gray I'm seeing here. The second foal could be dun. I hesitate to say dun for sure however because the photos are taken indoors and the foal coat is very dark for a dun foal. I would really love to see some photos of both foals with natural light. If the sire is a lepard pics probably won't help with the color determination but I'm sure I'm not the only one who would love to see pics just to ooggle the pretty horses. :grin:
I agree, first foal probably
I agree, first foal probably Black- it is as difficult, btw, to tell if a Black Dun has Cream by looking as it is to tell a Smoky Black, ie, you can't, not by looking :grin:
The second foal looks Dun to me, but, even then, foal coats can be very very misleading.
Just on looks alone I would say Black the first and Bay/Brown Dun the second, but I recommend testing!

Both foals do look dun
Both foals do look dun especially the bay/brown foal as you can see more primitive markings and the black foal also has a face mask and going by the creamy colour in his ears and through his coat I am going to say he is a smokey black dun.
Have you any pics of the dad - he sounds lovely.
