| Basset Hound color's.... Akc does recognize most all color's in the hound group. But there are some breeders selling basset's that they call blue bassets. They are usually selling them at very high price saying they are wonderful rare color. Yes it is true you don't see blue bassets very often. (Blue color Bassets) They are not actually blue bassets they are more of a gray color that fades through the black. It is a recessive jean that can some times accrue in a breeding. (Tri color Bassets) A tri color is black, brown and white. There are many variations of a tri color. There might be more of one of the color's. But there will always be all three color's .A tri color basset will have a black nose and very dark brown eye's. (Lemon and white) A lemon and white will sometimes be mistaken for a red/white. A true lemon will be mostly white when it's born and will start to get fades of a light tan color as it grows. A true lemon will also have a red coloring in it's nose it won't be solid black. There eye's are a very lovely lighter color almost a almond brown.A lemon/white's color will get darker as it gets older. (Red and White) A red/white will have a darker tan color with the white when it is born and the tan will get darker and turn to more of a red color as it matures.A red/white will also have a red color nose not black. But there eye's are dark brown. (Black and White) A black and White will be just that black and white with no other color's. They will have a black nose and dark brown eye's (Mahogany and White) A mahogany can also be mistaken as a red/white. A mahogany is a very deep dark reddish rust to brown color. A mahogany may also have some black on it's face. There might even be black hairs down it's back or mixed in the mahogany color. A mahogany will have a black nose and dark brown eye's.
