Colors 
 Shar Pei come in many different colors such as fawn, red
(rose), sand, cream, black, lilac and blue. They resemble the Chow Chow due to
having the same blue-black tongue.
There are over sixteen
recognized colors in AKC. The coat must be solid in color and any Shar-Pei with
a "flowered coat" (spotted) or black and tan in coloration (i.e. German
Shepherd) is a disqualification.
Colors include black,
cream, fawn, red-fawn, red, sable, apricot, chocolate, isabella, and blue.
The nose may be black or brick (pink with black), with or
without a black mask. A Shar-Pei can also have what is called a "dilute"
coloration. Meaning the nose, nails and anus of the dog is the same color as the
coat, (i.e. chocolate coat with chocolate nose, nails and anus). All of these
color variations are acceptable and beautiful, but the coat color must be solid
and well blended throughout the whole body of the dog.
