Is this question a trick?
What is the colour of a white horse?

[bridgenut]

no , not a trick question . A white horse is really Grey ! Or so I have been led to believe , can someone confirm this ?

[dr john]

Depends which way you look at it. Horses which are known as greys, would be called white if they were any other animal. Some people call them white anyway (nobody calls Wembley 1923 the Grey Horse Final).
