The Many Pomeranian Colors
You're probably familiar with some of the more common Pom fur colorings – such as black, cream and white. However, there are more Pomeranian colors than you could find in any rainbow!
Also, there are no known personality or health variations between one color to the next – the only difference is how they look, which is entirely up to your own personal preference!
Now, let's name off some of the Pomeranian colors so you can lean more about the many “flavors” of these special little dogs!
 White Pomeranian This is the very pure look. It's important to know the difference between a white Pomeranian (who simply has white fur), and an albino. Albino Poms aren't terribly common, but they do exist. They will have white fur, eyes that are a shade of light blue, light pink skin, and a nose that's either white or pink.
 Red Pomeranian Red Pomeranians are not completely “red” as in a bright red color, they are more of an orange or cream color with a heavy red tint or accent to the fur.
 Cream Pomeranian With its “pure”, “innocent”, “sweet” looks, the cream colored Pomeranian is perhaps the most popular choice. The cream isn't a very strong color; it's much like a cross between tan and white.
 Sable Pomeranian This is a dark accent shade of a somewhat brown-ish black color. Sable Poms will usually have dark colored or black fur around the snout, eyes, nose, lips and paw pads – and sometimes the tip of the fur on the tail. A sable Pom can be almost any color – the sable simply indicates the presence of dark accents.
 Blue Pomeranian Blue fur is never incredibly pronounced. It's very subtle, and will look black most of the time. The easiest way to see the blue hue is to look around the nose area, where the effect is normally the strongest.
 Orange Pomeranian Same as red, except with an orange tint.
 Orange-Sable Pomeranian Both “orange” and “sable” have already been defined, but this is such a popular color for Pomeranians that it deserves its own mention. Orange-sable is, as the name suggests, orange with sable accents around the face, paw pads and sometimes tail.
 Black Pomeranian Again, this is pretty self-explanatory – a solid black Pomeranian.
 Brown and Black Pomeranian Of all the Pomeranian colors, this is one of the most unique markings out there. The main body is usually black, while the snout, legs, and some other areas of the body will be brown. This is most common – although the colors may show up in different places.
 Black & White Pomeranian Just as the name suggests, these dogs have black & white fur. This is one of the most interesting Pomeranian colors, and is sure to strike up a conversation wherever you take her!
 Wolf Pomeranian A Wolf-sable is multiple shades of gray (the undercoat generally being lighter than the outer tips of the fur), without any hue of another color (such as orange or red). Since this is a sable marking, the mouth area, lips, eyes, and pads of the paws will all be black. The overall result is a wolf-like look.
 Chocolate Pomeranian Imagine a coat the same color as chocolate chips, and you've just about got it. Chocolate is perfect for that teddy bear look!
 Parti Colors You may hear about parti-colored Pomeranians from time-to-time, all this means is the Pom is part one color, and part another. “Parti” is short for “Partial”. A Pom can be a mixture of almost any of the above colors.
This covers most of the Pomeranian colors you'll see in the world.
Also worth mentioning is Brindle, Merle, and Lavender.
 Brindle is a marking where black fur crosses over another color in a stripe formation,
 Merle is a speckled look, and
 Lavender is a solid-color lavender coat, lighter puppy on the right (which is quite rare, and is considered somewhat exotic).
It's important to remember that no matter what color your Pomeranian is, she's just as special as any other marking! It's up to you to decide which color appeals to you.
