Copied and pasted from the link above providing the FCI standard.
The color “steel blue” is defined exactly: the silky, straight and shiny coat reflects a bluish shimmer in sunlight. Steel blue may range from a darker to a lighter color, but not silver.
A woolly, cottony, or wavy coat is not allowed, nor is a coat with champagne or white hair. Often a middle to dark anthracite is confused with steel blue (Yorkies with the former have hardly a correct tan). A Yorkshire Terrier of at least 24-30 months whose tan is already correctly shaded with gold and without grey hair usually hat a slightly lighter steel blue.
In IABCA shows...the dogs are judged against the standard and are awarded ratings or grades...with that stipulation in the standard I'm not certain a judge would award a V1 rating.
Frankly I'm amazed that you received a reply to an email that quickly....there is a decided lack of customer service on their part.
How many here have shown their partis?
