6 mins confidence: 
dun Explanation: I think this might do (even though I think it refers more to horses). Pale might be an alternative. |

peer agreement (net): +1brown (in this context) Explanation: I don't think "dun" or "pale" are appropriate for this children's song, whose conception of colour is much more basic. "Brown and black and white and grey" gives you a nice alliteration into the bargain!! Here's a useful link! Reference: http://khimairafarm.com/ColorsofGoats.htm |
