For those who are interested....especially those members who contacted us about a 2026 baby.....here's the 9 colors for domestic skunks

Nine Colors of Domestic Skunks
Domestic skunks — often kept as pets or in shows — come in a wide range of fur colors and patterns. While there are many variations, here are nine common domestic skunk colors recognized in pet and show communities.
Classic Black – The traditional black-and-white striped look, with two white stripes down the back and no extra white on the body.
Albino - All white coat with pink eyes. Some have a white on white stripe.
White with Dark Eyes – All-white coat with dark brown or black eyes.
Apricot – Light cream or beige coat, often with a white stripe; common in show coats.
Champagne – Pale cream or golden-beige coat, sometimes with a white stripe.
Smoke – Grayish or smoky gray coat, often with white markings.
Brown (Chocolate) – Light to dark brown coat, usually with white markings.
Mahogany – Dark brown coat with red and black highlights.
Lavender – Rare gray coat with a purplish hue, often speckled with black and white.
These colors can be combined with various markings such as classic stripes, swirls, chips, stars, or falling stars, which affect how the coat is judged in shows.
If you’re looking at a domestic skunk, the base color is the dominant fur tone, while the markings define its pattern. This variety makes skunks visually diverse, from the classic black-and-white to rare lavender and mahogany coats.
