A "dapple grey" horse is characterized by a coat that displays a combination of grey with lighter-colored spots or flecks, often referred to as dapples. These dapples can be in shades of silver, white, or even lighter grey, creating a unique and visually appealing pattern across the horse's coat.

The description of "speckled grey with tiny black, brown, or red spots" is accurate as it encapsulates the common appearance of dapples, which can present in various colors within the grey spectrum. This pattern is more complex than a solid grey coat and distinguishes a dapple grey from other grey horses.

A completely white horse does not exhibit the speckled characteristics found in dapple greys, while a solid grey coat lacks the charming contrast of dappling. A horse with a darkly shaded coat does not fit the description of "dapple grey," as dapples are specifically associated with lighter markings on a grey base.
