Shiba Inu Colors - What Colors Do Shiba Inus Come In?

Shiba Inu colors come in 4 distinct categories such as Red, Sesame, Black & Tan, and White/Cream.  

Shiba Inu Colors

A Red Shiba Inu color being the most popular isn’t actually red, but looks orange.  Some Red Shiba Inu dogs come in more vibrant in color than others (with white markings on legs, chest, jaw area, around eyes, and inner ears).  

A Sesame Shiba Inu color appears to look like a mixer of all the color combinations and some have a buff grey undercoat around the nose (mix of red, black, tan markings with white markings on inner legs, chest, around eyes and jaw area).  

A Black & Tan Shiba Inu color has markings that resemble a husky dog (tan markings are seen on inner legs, chest, eyebrows, and jaw area).  

A White/Cream Shiba Inu color is white throughout the body but may have red markings seen on the inner ear, back of tail, and feet.  White Shiba Inus are harder to come by, but are not too rare.
