I agree! All fjords are dun, I think it's rather the word 'yellow' that is 
misleading since apparently not all yellow duns are yellow. I think they are 
called 'isabella duns' (isabellblack) here in Sweden. An isabella horse is 
nothing but a diluted chestnut, no matter what shade of the colour it come in. 
Most of them are yellowish, but they might be anything from very light 
cremecoloured to dark golden.
