Non-Foundation (Mixed) Colours
الألوان غير الأساسية (المختلطة)
Non-foundation colours — that is, colours that are not pure but arise from the intermingling of several colours through the crossing of different houses (for example Ezazi over yellow-necked, or Sarbiya over Ezazi). The old masters set standards for them, but they rank below the pure strains in value and in breeding worth.
