This article concerns animal colour. For the village in England, see Brindle, Lancashire.

Brindle is a coat coloring in animals, particularly dogs, cats, cattle, donkeys and horses. It is sometimes described as "tiger striped", although the brindle pattern is more subtle than that of a tiger's coat. The streaks of color are usually darker than the base coat, which is often tawny or grayish, although very dark markings can occur on a coat that's barely lighter.

Poetry

The word brindle comes from brindled, originally brinded, from an old Scandinavian word. See Wiktionary. The concept occurs in the opening of 'Pied Beauty' (1877) by Gerard Manley Hopkins, a poem about dappled, streaky, subtly-varied Nature where he compares 'skies of couple-colour' to a 'brinded cow'.
