EspañolBRINDLE
:''This article concerns animal color. For the village in England, see Brindle, Lancashire.
'Brindle' is a coat coloring in animals, particularly dogs, cats, cattle, donkeys and horses. It is sometimes described as "tiger striped", although the brindle pattern is more subtle than that of a tiger's coat. The streaks of color are usually darker than the base coat, which is often tawny or grayish, although very dark markings can be seen on a coat that's only slightly lighter.
The brindle pattern may also take the place of tan in tricolor coats of some breeds (such as Basenjis). This coloration looks very similar the tricolor, and can only be distinguished at close range. Dogs of this color are often described as "trindle".
The word brindle comes from brindled, originally brinded, from an old Scandinavian word. See Wiktionary. The concept occurs in the opening of 'Pied Beauty' (1877) by Gerard Manley Hopkins, a poem about dappled, streaky, subtly-varied Nature, where he compares 'skies of couple-colour' to a 'brinded cow'.
