What color are Standard Schnauzers?

Standard Schnauzers come in two recognized coat colors: salt and pepper and black. Salt and pepper, a mix of black and white hairs, is the most common color for Standard Schnauzers. A Standard Schnauzer with a solid black coat should be uniform without any markings or lighter patches.

Both coat colors should have the characteristic wiry texture that is typical of the breed. This double coat consists of a soft undercoat and a harsh, dense outer coat that requires regular grooming to maintain its texture and appearance.
