The coloration on the above example is a bit off (too yellow), but this should give a good view of the overall pattern. The dark streak along the back intersecting with the same over the shoulders makes their namesake cross. The same pattern repeats for the hind legs. This view also shows how the back of the ears are black, despite otherwise being surrounded by orange.

The above example shows much more detail, particularly in the face. It also shows the intricacy of the tail's coloration, with the longer black hairs being more visible at the periphery, while the shorter and lighter brown or orange hairs are more visible in the middle. The coat appears more brown where the orange and grey meet.

This photo has a more vibrant orange, which I like. It also has a good head-on view of the face. Note the light grey eyebrows.
### Specific colors
#### Orange
More vibrant orange than seen on the real examples above, but not overpowering. Approximately \#E27C21.

The specific color I refer to by "bronze" is based on aluminum bronze, which usually has a creamy golden color. Approximately \#F3CC71. Here are some examples:
