These photos are NOT mine and I do not claim them as such. Some were emailed to me from fox breeders, and some were found on various websites.
Here's sort of a 'real' version of my Fox Color chart I did way back [link]
These are just of the Red Fox color mutations, both wild and ranched, and how I classify each color. Color names may differ between different people, and each color can differ from lighter or darker than the shown examples.
I gathered up one photo of each color mutation I could find of live, unpelted foxes. It's missing a few colors from my drawn chart, but I could not find any live photos of those colors.
Wild: Colors that occur in the wild naturally, no human interference. Ranched: Colors created through domestication and selective breeding. They do NOT occur in the wild naturally. Many ranched foxes have lost much of their natural instincts and would not survive very long in the wild. It would be like setting your chihuahua free to fend for itself.
Oh, thank you so much for making this! I'm going to be adopting a tamed fox sooner or later and I'm still debating on which color I want. This is so helpful!

I do point and USD commissions! Check it out on my profile!
Certain colors almost always have the white tipped tail, such as the platinums and whitemarks. Other than that, no For example, I have an Amber Fox pelt that has no white tipped tail.
I saw a picture on flickr of wild foxes with three colors in a litter--red, silver, and burgundy/chocolate (which I thought wasn't supposed to occur). But what one of my friends says is that it'd have to be inbred to produce the burgundy color, then again, they do live on an island...
this might be a wierd request lol... Would you mind if i printed this up at walmart poster size for my taxidermy shop? I wouldnt sell it or anything, i just think it would be a cool thing to show customers

Does all of the ranch-bred foxes have the white tip on the tail? Thank you!
