Are all Maltese white?

Yes, all Maltese are white, but they can occasionally have shades of light tan or lemon on their ears or around their eyes. These variations in color are often considered "off-white" or "ivory." However, for purebred Maltese dogs, the vast majority of their coat should be a beautiful, silky white, and the presence of any significant color other than white is considered a deviation from the breed standard.
