What colors are American Cocker Spaniels?

American Cocker Spaniels come in a variety of coat colors, with the breed standards recognizing several solid and parti-color options. The most common color is black, often accompanied by tan markings, followed by buff or golden shades. Other solid colors like chocolate and liver are less common but also accepted. 

Parti-colors, which include combinations like black and white or brown and white, are also seen, though they are less common than solid colors. Rarer still are the tri-colors (black, tan, and white) and the roan patterns, which features a solid intermixed with white hairs throughout the coat. These varied coat colors make the breed visually diverse, with options for pet parents who have a particular preference for coat style.
