According to the AKC breed standard, the Australian Shepherd can have the colors of blue merle, black, red merle, red-all with or without white markings and/or tan (copper) points. According to Wikipedia, merle is a solid base color (usually red/brown or black) with lighter blue/gray or reddish patches, which gives a mottled or uneven speckled effect.
