What colors do Shiba Inus come in?

Shiba Inus come in four colors: Red, sesame, black and tan, and cream. 

The most common and widely recognized coat color for Shiba Inus is red. Shiba Inus with the black and tan pattern have a primarily black coat with tan or cream markings on their face, chest, legs, and paws. Sesame Shiba Inus have a red coat with black-tipped guard hairs scattered throughout, giving them a “sesame seed” appearance. While not as common, cream Shiba Inus have a predominantly cream-colored coat with little to no black or tan markings.
