What is color harlequin?

Harlequin color is a term used to describe a particular type of coloration seen in dogs and other animals. It is characterized by a unique pattern formed by large patches of two different colors on the animal's coat or fur. Harlequin coloring typically involves one base color, which covers the majority of the animal's coat, and a contrasting color that appears in large splotches or patches over the base color. The term harlequin can be used for many different species of animals, including Great Danes, rabbits, horses, and even birds. In dogs, harlequin refers specifically to the color pattern seen in some breeds, such as the Great Dane, the Weimaraner, and the Scottish Terrier, among others. The harlequin pattern is highly prized by breeders and is considered to be a desirable trait in many dog breeds.
