It is possible to find bay dun horses with a color that is practically indistinguishable from the usual bay color. Bay dun color is the most common “Wild” color and is often seen in Quarter Horses. It is also frequently encountered in such breeds as Vyatka and Bashkir Horse, as well as other aboriginal horses. The color is rare in some breeds, such as the Andalusian and Lusitano.

Grullo (sometimes called grulla) is a color resulting from a combination of the Dun gene with the black base (ssss1). These horses have ashy, grayish body color, sometimes with a distinctive bluish tone. All the body hairs have the same color—a major distinction from the gray and the black roan colors (see ssss1). The mane and tail are black, and the head is dark or almost black because of either cobwebbing or a mask, which when present together are superimposed on each other. The lower part of the legs is black, or sometimes dark ashy with a tone close to the body color, just darker. Primitive markings are black. The skin and hooves are pigmented, the eyes are hazel or (rarely) light hazel.
