I've learned form experience that color should be the at the bottom of deciding if you want a certain horse or not. You need to look past color at conformation and attitude. I'm not real fond of greys either, but I've also learned, it's more how one is built if they are really pretty or not. I'm not that fond of Harleys color, but I think he's a beautiful horse. He's just put together so well that makes him pretty. Rusty's confirmation is pretty good to, not as good as Harleys tho. Color is not what makes them pretty, it can just make them prettier:)

I like grey Arabs well enough, especially when they are young and still steel grey in color. But you can't get too fond of it, they'll get lighter every year.

You're right the color should be secondary, that's why with that Tovero, we bred for conformation, not guaranteed color. Taffy, the mare, was built like a Mack truck in the body, but with the little tiny feet and stubby legs common to AQHA types lately. They bred to a very thoroughbredy Paint with long legs. They didn't get color, but they did get legs. And legs are important.

She grew up to be a fine looking horse.

This goes back as far as the famous Mister Jorrocks, the Master of the Handley Cross Hunt, who said (I'm paraphrasing 'cause I don't have the book in front of me) that the color is the least important thing about a horse, but it's the first thing every beginner asks (that's how you tell he's a beginner . . . )
