It'd be interesting to find out. He looks sooty to me, so I wonder if that has anything to do with it. But your question reminded me of this Palomino I worked with during the summers. Never saw what his coat was in the winter time, but he was an all in all really light palomino, and had noticible white hairs on his body, not on the legs or the head. I used to groom him and think he was a palomino roan LOL.

The other palomino roan I've seen had more redish looking points, like your guy in wintertime.
Oddly, you can see the "roan"
Oddly, you can see the "roan" and "corn marks" better with my crappy phone camera. haha

In this one, my middle and index finger are pointed towards the "corn marks" in case you don't see what I'm referring to.

Crap! So today I ordered and printed the test for Tweetie to get his roan zygosity test done. Its already paid for. I have never done a zygosity test before so when I printed it I didn't read anything. Turns out, I have to submit a parent's hair sample too! The breeders are in Texas. The dad is dead (the one I assume he got the roan from as he is the same sire as our Blue) and the mom... I don't even know if they have her anymore. But if she isn't the one I presume roan, does that work??
Am I screwed out of my $50???
Roan testing.
You know there is always a possiblility that in a few years they will have a better test for roan so if it comes back negative, you can always wait and retest later. I am voting roan also, btw. You know, you could have submitted the "brothers" sample with an explanation that the sire was deceased, but that he was a "sibling". :bounce
I'm getting so impatient
I'm getting so impatient waiting for Tweetie's results! lol
Here is a photo I took today of his legs. He was trying to talk to the mares... which is why he is standing like a dork. lol

Here is a picture from January. You can see how light he was and how dark his legs were.
