Cream is a very pale orange, liver or yellow color. Cream is an even self color throughout with no white or black in the coat. Due to the harsher texture of the guard hairs, the top coat may appear slightly deeper in color than the undercoat. Creams must have black eye rims, nose, lips and toe pads.

There are two genetic types of cream.
Clear cream
One is the clear cream based on the (e) gene which turns all black pigment to yellow. In a clear cream however there is some other (unclear) genetic factor that makes the color pale, sometimes nearly white. Clear creams are usually born looking practically white, and cannot make black pigment on their body hair, and their whiskers are clear or straw colored (not black).

Non-Clear Cream
The other variation of cream is generally born a silvery color and unlike the clear creams, they can have some black pigmentation on the body hair especially when young, and can have black whiskers. Their puppy coat may be quite silvery but will change over to a creamy color as they change to adult hair.
