Miniature Schnauzer Colors The Miniature Schnauzer comes in several color combinations.

Salt and pepper: This is the most common coat color, and is unique to Schnauzers. The guard hairs on the topcoat are banded to create a mosaic of black-gray coloring. The furnishings are lighter in color. Puppies are born with a dark coat, and it lightens as they mature. There is considerable variation in shades of salt and pepper in adult Miniature Schnauzers.

Black: A striking pure black.

Black and silver: The black body coat

contrasts with silver markings.

White: Not seen in the USA, this color is now recognized in most other countries.
