 ;D  I'm with Sweetnessheart!  I love them all!

I have Standards, Black Velvets, Beiges, Mosaics, Ebonies, Tans, and a TOV Mosaic.  I really love the freckles in the ears of the Beiges and the way that Mosaics change in color so much.  I'm also very fond of Pink Whites and am currently waiting to see if my Homozygous Light Tan/Mosaic pair manages to throw any with their first litter.   :::grins::

My favorite is not an option. I am completely in love with violets, but I like all the colors. :)

I think for the most common colors, I'd go with:
Standard
Black Velvet
Beige
Mosaic
Ebony
Violet
Sapphire

The others are all basically combinations of the above.  (i.e. Brown Velvet = Beige + Black Velvet, Tan = Beige + Ebony, etc.)

I voted black,including the med or hetero ebony, I think they have such awesome markings. BUT I too love them all.Breeding the beiges/br.velvets and everything that can come from the beige genes I find the most fun.Drop in an ebony gene and give me med. tans. I love them too.
So trying to pick one is almost impossible for me ;)
I just love a nice solid white I have, and my tov homo beige is still on the top of my list.
Funny my least favorites are the violets, and from what I've seen in pictures the Sapphires would be my second least. I haven't had one of those, or seen on in person so I'm still open to the sapphires. ::nod::
I don't and won't breed my violet, I just don't think they'd sell here. :::(((

I think it takes a LOT of work to breed Violets and Sapphires and have them maintain good fur quality.  I'm just not willing to do it, myself.  I'll work with the mutations that are a bit easier.  I'm just lazy like that, I guess.   ;D

It does take a lot!!  It took me 3 generations of careful breeding to get my violets that won color phase and reserve color phase at the MCBA show last year.  It takes a lot of patients but once you get just what you were working for it is so worth it!!

I think it's great that there are breeders who do take the time to breed violets and sapphires properly and who have that dedication and patience!   ::nod::

Violets have come along way. Just in the past year I have seen a big improvement in the violets I've seen. :)
I think Saphires still have a long long way to go before we will be seeing anything that would be considered quality.
