A frame overo horse appears to be any solid base color (bay, black, chestnut, etc.) with white irregular patches added, usually with a horizontal orientation.

A similar effect is observed in pinto horses with both the tobiano and frame overo pattern; these "toveros" often have more white than either tobiano or frame overo-patterned horses. Similarly, two apparently solid-colored horses with separate factors for white markings may produce a foal expressing both, with more white than either parent.
SW2 is a PAX3 mutation mistakenly thought to originate with a single Quarter Horse mare foaled in 1987. However, it seems it is actually older, and it has been found in Quarter Horses and Paint horses as well as Noriker and Lipizzan horses.

Three horses with different coat colors. Horses exhibit a diverse array of coat colors and distinctive markings. A specialized vocabulary has evolved to describe them. While most horses remain the same color throughout life, a few, over the course of several years, will develop a different coat color from that with which they were born.
