Uls (White) Dun
Uls dun ("ulsblakk") is a variety of the brown dun color caused by a
factor which reduces the production of pigment, so-called diluted color.
The color of the body is almost white or yellowish-white. "Midtstol",
dorsal stripe and "halefjaer" are black or grey. Mane and tail has a
lighter shade than the body.
This is from the NFHR website on coat colors.

<< Can anyone tell me the literal translation of the Norwegian word
"Ulsblak"? The translations of all of the other Fjord colors are
pretty
straight forward, but this one has me stumped. I know that "blak"
essentially means dun, but "uls" is not the word that I learned for
"white"
when I took Norwegian in college a hundred years ago. I can't find
"uls"
in any Norwegian-English dictionary either. >>
