Color vs. pattern (brindle)

youre not alone , I would have called it a pattern too

Well its depends...if its genetically brindle I would call it a pattern.

If its a chimeric brindle than I would call it a color. I would call it a color if its chimeric because its an actual color causing the pattern. Kind of like how we don't call black + agouti a pattern.

Very interesting, RiddleMeThis! I see just what you're saying.

It reads a bit 'off' to write something like, "Her brindle color is unusually compelling" (although "pattern" would fit well). As such, I shall think of how to tap my way around that noose. :lol:

Thanks!

You could always use "coloring" in place of just "color"

pattern/colour ??
