COAT COLORS WHITE and BLACK

WHITE & BLACK The white and black Papillon is a white dog with solid black spots on the body and head. There are no hairs of any other color. It is possible for a w/black to show reddish undertones in its coat. These undertones are normally visible in certain lighting conditions, such as sunlight. Sun exposure will make the red undertones more pronounced. So how can you tell the difference between red hairs and red undertones? When you look at the Papillon, if the hair appears to be solid red, from root to tip, it's not a w/black Papillon.  However, if the hair appears black (perhaps from a distance) but seems to have a reddish or brownish cast to it, it's probably a w/black Papillon with reddish undertones. Also, if the reddish color appears more pronounced in the summer months, it's more than likely that it has red undertones. This phenomenon is seen a lot in black horses who appear brown in the summer and then darken again in the winter.

A white and black Papillon has a white coat with spots that are solid black in color. Nowhere on the coat are there any red hairs. With sun exposure, the black hairs may get a reddish tint to them; this is not to be confused with red hairs. Above, Juliette Noelani CGC OAJ AXJ illustrates the white & black color.

With sun exposure, the black hairs may get a reddish tint to them; this is not to be confused with red hairs. The tinted or sun-kissed hairs will grow out black and without sun exposure, will remain black.
