The colors of the Pomeranian are many and varied, and the choice is enormous, with colors ranging from white through orange to black. Colors of nose pigment also alter according to coat color.

The Pom’s profuse outer coat is harsh-textured and protects the body. Owners must be prepared to devote time to the upkeep of this beautiful coat.

The profuse coat is a double one, with a soft, fluffy undercoat and straight, harsh-textured outer coat standing off from the body. Around the neck, on the chest and on the front of the shoulders, the coat is abundant and forms a frill. There is good feathering on the fore and hind legs, and the tail is covered with a profusion of long, harsh, spreading hair. This means that the coat does need attention, although grooming can undoubtedly be a pleasure for both dog and owner.
