Numerical codes are used since most AKC paperwork is now being done online. The acceptable breed colors and markings are already set up in the AKC database. If you go to this link www.akc.org/registration/colormarkings.cfm and pull up Rat Terrier, you'll see them listed.
(AKC allows a maximum of 18 colors and 9 markings.)
