are you sure it isnt the name of the horse, rather than the colour?

The color of the horse was blue roan.

yh, as in all the pictures the horse is vivid blue. Similar to how Shiva is painted blue, thought that may have something to do with it but I guess it may be coincidence??

That's just the color of the horse. Sometimes they also call grey horses neelay ghoray when in fact they are grey. You can find similar colored horses today.

These are what are called blue roans, they do look good. this colour is a recessive colour i think, but i am not sure whether it features in any indian horse, or even arab horse.

Sometime you see paintings of Guru Ji on a white horse, that is a more common painting.

I thought it was a dark sky blue colour ???

A few years ago I did find the name and origin of this kind of horse and from what I remember they can be found in mid-west USA.

I believe Guruji's was a gift from middle east arabs/moghuls.

I will try and see if I can find this info again and will try to post it on here.

Lighter blue roans can look white from a distance i think
