Chestnut, black, and bay or brown coat colours

I've had quite a few horses in my life, but none had glamorous or flashy colours like a palomino, overo or silver dapple. No, it's been bay, brown, chestnut and grey for me, and flea-bitten grey at that.
The kind of beautiful palomino colouring that a little girl dreams about... (pic linked from Keystone Center)
It's not that I didn't love the idea of having a horse with a beautiful and unusual coat colour, that's just the way it panned out. Well, probably that and the fact that unusual coat colours are, by definition, less common.
