I love unique markings of pretty much any kind. Merles, of course, being my favorite, but I also like brindling (whippets, greyhounds, etc), ticking (setters, cattle dogs, etc) and spots (dalmatians, etc).

I'm not as drawn to just solid colors normally. But Murph is more or less a very light solid cream color and I think he's adorable. So it's definitely more of an ascetic thing. A loving, friendly dog would override any color preference I had.
