Telling true horse colour?

I've been on many horse websites and horses I would dub "brown" are being called black when they clearly have a brown muzzle and brown around the eyes. I know I have two horses, which I would call Black and Liver Chestnut. But most people call my liver chestnut mare, Kalypso, light bay. Here is a picture of both of my horses (under the pictures are their names: Beavis and Kalypso) on this page. www.howrse.com/joueur/fiche/?id=32077974Cached

Can you please explain how to tell the difference in colour and is Kalypso indeed a light bay or is she liver chestnut as I thought or some other mix all together. Kalypso is an Appendix if that helps.

    Upload pictures to a proper photo hosting site, howrse is blocked here and anyone else will need a login to see the pictures.

    Light bay will have a black mane and tail and dark points on their legs. Liver chestnut will have a chestnut or pale mane and tail and no dark points.

    i think of you're precise. that's what she looks desire to me. She has a rat tail, which probably ability that when she gets finished colour in she would be able to look greater like her dad than mom. She would get type of roanish however the spots ought to ensue greater by the years. *upload* before somebody thumbs me down on the 'rat tail', it somewhat is not a foul factor. 'previous Appaloosas' have been accepted for it. regardless of the actuality that many human beings attempt to reproduce appys out of it, i think of it shows an indication of previous attractiveness.
