What color is a Bluetick Coonhound?

The Bluetick Coonhound is tricolor, with their trademark “bluetick” color (black markings on a white background, which gives the impression of a dark blue color). The ticking pattern consists of small specks or spots of lighter blue or white on the coat. This ticking is evenly distributed over the body and gives the coat a mottled appearance. They also often have tan markings on the face, chest, legs, and belly.
