I hate to be a stick in the mud, but Tolkien <I>never</I> refers to Shadowfax as silver-grey. The quote from the book is:<BR> <BLOCKQUOTE>quote:<HR>By day his coat glistens like silver; and by night it is like a shade, and he passes unseen.<HR></BLOCKQUOTE><BR>Really he is not telling you what colour Shadowfax is at all - only that his coat glistens <I>like</I> silver, and is at night <I>like</I> a shade. He could be a shiny black horse for all we know.
