What colour scheme for my snowy grey boy?

Hi,

I am about to purchase a 14.1hh 6yr grey Connemara gelding and cannot decide a colour scheme for him. I like a consistency in colour.
Any ideas on what colour might suit him? What do you or would you put on a snowy grey gelding?

Thanks,

Tigerlily

dark green looks lovely on greys :-))) but hard to find as considered unlucky.

I've gone for pale blue/darkblue/silver. Once T is scrubbed up it looks great.

LOL Titch!!! I wish he was a mare, then he'd be covered in pink!!

I think I will go with blue, I don't think he'd appreciate pink or purple, although I am thinking of getting a little welshie mare to keep him company in the field so pink might be the answer for her!!

Thanks for all the replies guys & girls.

Tigerlily xx

My gelding is in Black/Grey/Silver combination, but we're lucky as greys look good in everything
