a coat pattern wearing two colors like it can't commit to either
means A horse with a coat of large irregular patches of white and another color, or a small speckled bean of similar mottled appearance.
from From Spanish 'pinto,' meaning 'painted' or 'spotted,' the past participle relative of 'pintar' (to paint), which traces back to Latin 'pingere,' to paint or embroider — the same root that gives us 'picture' and 'pigment.' The word rode north with Spanish horse culture into the American West, where the patchwork ponies kept the name.
