The color shade of lion typically will depend on the species of lion. Generally, lions have a yellow-ochre coat with a tuft of black hair at the end of their tail. However, in some rare cases, lion color shades can range from a light cream base with pale yellow to a deep orange-brown color with brown and black spots. The mane of the male lion can range from blond to dark brown to rust-red, making for quite a diverse range of shades. There are even some white lions that have a creamy chocolate colored coat and hazel-brown eyes. So, overall, the color shade of a lion can vary greatly depending on the genetics of each individual animal.
