canisantiquus: The Poodle Rainbow Sable black hairsover red, apricot, and cream bases Progressive lightening (silver, blue, silver-beige & cafe au lait) puppies are born black or liver and progressively lighten as the hair grows out - the name depends on the depth of the final colour. The nose stays black or, on liver, brown. Particolor (piebald) white spotting on a coloured base Brindle black striping over a coloured base Phantom (black & tan) red pigment (red, apricot, cream, white) occurs in a classic Rottweiler pattern over black (black, blue, silver) Solid (black, brown/liver, red, apricot, cream, and white) all should have solid black noses, except for liver which by its nature always has a brown nose - although recessive reds may have fainter black pigment. White, cream, apricot, and red are all shades of recessive red, while liver is a recessive mutation of dominant black. Creams may have apricot shading among their hairs, differentiating them from whites. -- source link
