I'm no authority - to be sure - but freckles LOOK a great deal different to me than 'ticking' -- they are just smaller patches of color. The ticking is colored hairs more or less mixed with the white hairs - and not making the same 'depth of color' where they appear. Maybe I'm off base here - this is STRICTLY what I think when I look at the freckles and/or ticking -
