Which colors are accepted for hunt coats?

• A. Navy, dark green, grey, black or brown
• B. Blue, red, white, grey
• C. Green, yellow, purple, black
• D. Navy, tan, cream, pastel

Answer: (A)

Hunt coats must stay in dark, conservative tones that present a professional appearance. The acceptable palette includes navy, dark green, grey, black or brown, which are muted and non-distracting under show lights and judges’ eyes.

This keeps the focus on performance rather than attire, which is why lighter shades or brighter colors aren’t allowed. The other options introduce colors like tan, cream, pastels, or bright hues such as blue or red, which don’t fit the standard for hunt coats. So the set of colors listed as navy, dark green, grey, black or brown aligns with the rulebook guidance for acceptable hunt coat colors.
