Just wondering how many of us have color preferences for our golden retrievers. If you had to pick a favorite what would it be? Personally I love them all, but I am definitely a sucker for a deep red/gold coloration. :)

The red gold really is a beautiful color. I used to think when I looked at Zeke in the sunlight I could make a fortune if I figured out how to bottle that color and sell it for hair color. His coat lightened with age. Here he is at about 6 or so.

I've had three red goldens and two lighter goldens. I love red goldens and I love lighter goldens and I love everything in between! :) I'm not being politically correct, but color just doesn't matter anymore to me. It's all about the personality for me! :)

I think all of the colors are beautiful, so I don't really have any huge preferences. Before we got Oscar I don't think I've ever seen really dark/red goldens before. When we picked him out I just said I'd rather if he wasn't really light. I think the next golden we get we may look for a darker one :)

I've had three Goldens all being the lighter blond,,,,Murphy is the lightest. His mom was close to white. I had no idea what his color would be as I went for the clearances then saw the parents pictures. All Goldens are beautiful no matter what the color is!!!

Our Samson is our first purebreed dog, and I love his dark colour. I always thought i preferred the super light golden. But i LOVE the dark red\golds now. When the sun hits the coat it looks amazing!

Belle was a red golden, Jeb and Trooper medium gold, Jack (border collie/GR) black, Rose is off-white. As far as color I tend to like the opposites - the very light and the red dark (which both do not make it in the standard conformation "magic book").
