Descriptions

A Pom may be a solid color or a mixture of colors. You sometimes need to get very close up next to a Pom to know its true color. 

Sable Pomeranian dog.  Sometimes this color will not show in a Pomeranian picture.  In a photograph the dog will look brown or black.  You will only notice the sable color when in person with the dog.  A sable colored Pom will have a brown or gray coat of fur with black on the ends of the fur.  You would need to be up close to the Pomeranian to see this.

Red Pomeranian dog.  A red Pomeranian will be a reddish-orange colored dog.  The two colors will not be distinct.  The coat of the Pomeranian will be one blend of a red-orange color.  Red will not mean red as in an apple.  With a red Pomeranian, the dog will be the darkest, deepest orange possible for fur. 

Orange Pomeranian. An orange Pomeranian will be a light tan-orange color.  The tan and orange colors will not be separate.  The entire coat of fur will be one color.  The orange will not be that of the orange fruit,  An orange color Pomeranian will be a light, golden tan-orange.

Cream Pomeranian dog.  With a cream Pomeranian, this dog will be just as you would think.  If your Pom is cream color, she will be the color of the cream that goes into coffee.  Think of having a large bucket of white, adding in just a drop or two of brown and mixing it around.

Brown and black Pomeranian dogs. These colors are self explanatory.  If you have a black or brown colored dog, there will not be any other colors, the dog will be a solid brown or black. 

Blue Pomeranian.  A blue Pomeranian is not the color of the sky.  You will actually know your Pomeranian is blue color by looking at his nose.  It's fur will be a dull black color but his nose will have actual blue color on it. His eyes may also be blue. 

Tan and white Pomeranian dogs.  These colors are just as they imply.  The colors will be solid without another hue mixed in.  However, there is always a chance that a white dog may actually be an albino. An albino will have light blue eyes, a pink or white nose and pinkish skin.

Chocolate Pomeranian dogs will remind you of a Hershey's chocolate bar.

Brindle.  This colored Pomeranian dog will have a base under  coat of golden tan, deep red or light orange and then have black fur crossing over in stripes.

Overview

You may wonder what color is your Pomeranian.  The Pomeranian dog comes in such a wide variety of colors it can sometimes be confusing to know what color your Pomeranian officially is.

Beyond wanting to know for self satisfaction and to be able to tell others, you may need to give a color when registering your Pomeranian.

Therefore, we dive into the world of Pomeranian colors.  It is quite as confusing as one may think if you break up the colors into categories. 

The names of Pomeranian colors may be a bit misleading, such a blue Pomeranian which certainly is not actually the color blue.  Can you imagine?

Does it matter?

There is no color of a Pomeranian dog that is better than another color.  In dog shows, all colored Pomeranians are allowed to enter and not one color is judges to be a better color than another one.  For example, a black Pomeranian is not consider more rare or more valuable than a parti-color Pom.  The only time that color matters is if you have your own personal preference.

If you are buying a Pomeranian dog and want a certain color, it is suggested to find a good breeder ahead of time.  Once doing so, you can ask that breeder if he or she has plans to breed a certain colored Pomeranian.  If a breeder has both a male and female dog of the exact same color, the pups will most likely be that color as well.  However color can skip a generation.
