What is your color preference?

I like options and variety in a breed... I'm more a markings type girl rather than color. I like dogs that have a blaze. Either Irish spotting or particolor. (Irish spotting is like the traditional collie pattern- white blaze, white on the neck, legs, tail tip).
I really like black and white and tricolor on all breeds except shelties. In shelties I like a deep mahogany sable or bi black. I also like deep red and white, but I prefer black pigment. (like Irish setter type reds)
I don't much care for solid colors in general. Not much of a merle person either.
I couldn't vote for particolor because it was grouped with white and I don't like solid white. I think I'll just vote 'tri'.

In corgis, I love black headed tri with a lot of black on it. Considering malinois technically (by FCI standard) only come in fawn, that would have to be my color choice for them.
When I had GSDs I liked black/tan or black/red again with a lot of black on them.
I do tend to prefer the looks of darker colored dogs, but not solid. I also love Tyr's coloring, mainly because of the way it changes. He gets darker and redder over the winter and then lightens in the summer.

I love brown dogs. Especially a rich, deep, chocolatey brown (like Ripley). I've always had a thing for brown dogs. If a dog/breed comes in different colours, and one of those colours is a shade of brown, then I'll always opt for the brown as my preference (whether or not it's actually called brown -- could be liver or red or chocolate depending on the breed). For example, I like: liver Dalmatians, liver Flat-Coats, red Dobermans, red Border Collies, etc.
Merles (blue and red) are another favourite of mine, but I'm kinda picky on the pattern. And I like orange and red dogs too (like Tollers, Pharaoh Hounds and Ibizans). Sable is another favourite of mine.
And I like my dogs to have markings. There are a few solid breeds that I like, but mostly I tend to prefer a dog with markings (be it rust points, spots, white areas, a mask, etc.).
As for my favourite colours in my breeds, I'll always have a major preference for red Dobermans over black. And the darker the coat, the better. With Tollers, I prefer medium-minimal white and a rich, dark red coat, but I'm not too picky with Tollers as long as they're not very heavily marked.

You know, I thought long and hard on this, and I really don't have an answer. I have ooh'd and aww'd over black dogs, white dogs, speckled dogs, striped dogs, and everything in between. I have never said to myself "I want a dog that looks like xyz." I have favorite fur types, favorite size, favorite temperament--but color is just an after thought to me.
Apparently I need a pasta option.
