The 3 Greys

Siberian coats can come is three shades of grey. These are: Wolf Grey, Silver, and Medium/Dark Grey.

Wolf Grey is an allowance of the agouti gene which gives off a warm shade of grey with beige, tan, or red behind the ears, on the legs, and the back. Undercoat is beige. Pigment is restricted per individual hair. This coat gives off a rich color with lots of depth. Not to be confused to sable coated Siberians.

Silver is the complete opposite of a wolf grey. There is a complete restriction of the agouti gene. The coat comes off with a silvery or blue tone. There is no red, tan, or beige. The silver Siberian's undercoat is white. Black can often tip the hair. When a dilution factor is present the shade of silver can become even more blue, with pigment being slate colored.

Medium/Dark Grey is the most common of the grey colorings. It allows red or tan tones, but not to the fullest depth. The richness of the red or tan is reduced but not completely cut out. Undercoat is a mixture of beige and silver.
