The standard is written dark steel blue.....it's up for interpretation....it's how the judge sees it. There are so many variables that happen in the ring....you may have a correct color pattenered yorkie in the ring, but structerly incorrect....the black colored may have everything else about them that is correct......get it. Judges, judge by the qualities of the dog, breeders look at faults......
