Serious Question

This is not to insult anyone - so PLEASE don't take it that way.
But I really do want to know, what do we call a fawn dog out of two brindles. I have asked it before, but I don't think there was a definitive answer....and there may not be one.
The breed standard lists brindle. But it also lists sizes, and certainly because a dog is smaller or larger than the breed standard doesn't make it not a Dutch. I know many working dog people would just call it a malinois. What do they call it in Europe if it creeps up in FCI lines (does that happen?)? How is the registration handled?
I am well aware that most of the dogs in this country are KNPV lines and are not pure brindle. I know that mal and DS are freely crossed back and forth.
I was just looking at a breeding post that listed a brindle DS bred to a fawn DS. So that got me to thinking. Can there be a fawn DS?
