A few weeks ago Penny posted this thread counting up the eye colors in her crew and asking the community at large what were the numbers in their crews. With my crew numbering, as of right now, over 3500 petz, I wasn't feeling up to the task of counting up all the different eye colors lol.*
However... I did start to think that I could maybe count coat colors. And after a few weeks of work on and off, I think I've got my final numbers. I'm only counting the "main" coat color (for sheepdogs and calicoes I go by their head color), so each pet is only counted once in this count.
My favorite coat color is red, and while I like all the colors I think probably either dusty or grey are my least favorite, so I was curious to see if that would be reflected in the final numbers.
My tallies (accounting for some margin of error, of course) are as follows:
Black: 529 Blue: 267 Brown: 279 Cream: 283 Dusty: 192 Grey: 276 Orange: 352 Red: 335
Tan: 347
White: 534
Which leaves "other", ie hexies with unnatural colors, OWs without one principal color, etc at 174.
I was surprised at how prevalent black and white were! I think this could partly be accounted for how, when I was in high school, I bred a lot of purebred calicoes and poodles, and black and white are the common colors for each out of the AC, and thus I bred a lot of those colors. (The calicoes would also account for orange being the next highest number.) I still wasn't expecting for any of them to be that high, though! Surprisingly, red, my favorite coat color, wound up near the middle of the pack. Dusty was the least common color, so at least that wasn't a surprise lol.
So how about all of you? If you want to give this a try, did you find any surprises in your totals like I did?
*I did get curious and count my pink-eyed and black-eyed petz, since I figured those two are the easiest to pick out. I have 272 pink-eyed petz, and only 28 black-eyed. I was expecting black to be closer to 40 or 50, so I was surprised at how few of those I had comparatively. (Now I suppose I'll have to count all the rest too, now that I've started... argh, help me...)

Here are my Bred petz. Before counting I made note what I thought my most/least popular colors would be.. Most Popular: Black, Cream, Grey Least Popular: Tan, Brown Black: 18 Blue: 24 Brown: 8 Cream: 32 Dusty: 11 Grey: 29 Orange: 12 Red: 16 Tan: 15 White: 21 According to this, I'd say... Most popular: Cream, Grey Mid popularity: Blue, White, Black, Red, Tan Least popular: Brown, Dusty, Orange As for Hexies, I did count, but I think I counted more as "one" color when they really should be in the "Other" category. But based on my count - Black, White, Cream, and Grey were highest. Blue, Dusty, and Red were lowest.

I'll try to get the exact numbers at some point but I'm pretty sure Dusty and Grey are the most common colours in mine, followed closely by Black. I also have a lot of Brown and White pets.

You have over 3500 petz? I've barely been coping with 400+ lol, so I've been downsizing lately. I saw this a while ago and wanted to do it too but only got round to doing it the last couple of days. My fave colour at the moment seems to be orange with white or black with it. Taupe (dusty, but I call it 'taupe') is the next fave, I think, along with grey, rusty (red) and cream. I'd say tan and brown are my least fave. I'm interested to see which I have more of. Black: 60 Blue: 31 Brown: 14 Cream: 32 Grey: 24 Orange: 45 Other: 4 Rusty: 26 Tan: 39 Taupe: 29 White: 56 Ones I'm surprised by: - black - that's a lot more than I thought I had
- blue - I like it but that's more than I thought I'd have
- grey - thought there'd be more
- tan - really thought there'd be less as it's one of my least fave colours
- taupe - strange that it's not a lot compared to ones I don't like as much
- white - more than expected
Ones I'm not surprised by: - brown - yeah, it's just not a fave
- cream - I thought there would be a lot
- orange - this was obvious
- other - one of them is green, but the other three I just couldn't tell what their main colour really was
- rusty - I thought this would be about average
This made me curious about something else, and counted all my petz names by letter. This was the result: A - 18 B - 32 C - 30 D - 18 E - 9 F - 22 G - 19 H - 10 I - 7 J - 21 K - 9 L - 10 M - 27 N - 9 O - 8 P - 28 R - 14 S - 33 T - 22 U - 1 V - 4 W - 6 Y - 3 I did have a couple who had names beginning with Q and Z, but those were some I deleted recently, and I've never had any begin with X. It seems I find it easier to think of names beginning with B, C and S! This was quite interesting and fun to do.

rhikan Ooh the names thing is interesting too! I did mine: A - 37 B - 38 C - 57* D - 25 E - 25 F - 22 G - 14 H - 27 I - 10 J - 23 K - 27 L - 39 M - 49* | N - 11 O - 14 P - 39 Q - 4 R - 28 S - 65* T - 36 U - 2 V - 11 W - 16 X - 3 Y - 5 Z - 5
|
C, M, S are most common for me. With Q, U, X, Y, Z being the lowest (not surprising). But at least 2+ petz for every letter!

You have over 3500 petz? I've barely been coping with 400+ lol, so I've been downsizing lately. Unfortunately, yes lol. I'm horrible at downsizing, obviously. I'm trying to be veeerrrry picky about any new Petz I adopt, haha.
I did the sorting by alphabet about a year ago and chronicled it here: petzforum.proboards.com/thread/67603/alphabet-soup Out of date now since I've adopted more petz since then (my attempts at limiting the amount of new Petz I adopt are only somewhat successful lol), but like you and Megan@Xoops ❄️, S was my most common starting letter, with C and M not too far behind. X is the least common.

X is the least common. Lol, I love the genius title you gave that thread. I like organising things, making lists and so on, and I guess names are just as easy as coat colours to organise, but I don't think I'd want to sort out eye colours, even with the few hundred I have. Strange how S is a very common one for us. Colours are a preference thing (we all like different colours), names though... I wonder if we have subconscious preferences for names beginning with certain letters. Interesting! X is a tricky one. Might have to call one of my petz Xylophone.
