English Setter Colors

English Setters come in 3 main color variations - orange belton, blue belton and tri-colored.   Belton is the name of the beautiful dappling pattern that is unique to English Setters - it's named after the town in England where Sir Edward Laverack was developing the breed in the early 1800s.

Less common are the lemon belton (similar to orange belton but with pink nose and eye rims) and liver belton (rich brown colored ticking with flesh-colored nose and eye rims).

Color depth can vary from almost pure white to almost solid roan but uniform ticking over the body is desired.
