Beagles come in a variety of colors. Most common are the tri-colors, brown, black and white. Ticking refers to spots of color, and blue ticking is a grayish black which appears to have a blue tinge to it. Lucy is a blue-tick beagle. Some beagles have no black: for example, my beagle Scooter (on the front page) is a brown and white beagle. His parents were a tri-color and a lemon beagle. In lemon beagles, the brown is very pale with a slightly reddish tinge. Butterfinger is a lemon beagle, some are even lighter. Red and white beagles are similar to lemon beagles but the lemon has more red to it.

While a blue Beagle is, as others have responded, merely a color, it is one of the more difficult colors to get. Just to give you an idea, my blue Beagle puppies start at $575.00. According to the AKC, ticking is not a color, but a marking, 013 on the puppy’s registration papers. The color of ticking is not restricted to blue/gray/black. In fact, ticking can be a tan or cinnamon color. Ticking can occur anywhere there is white on the puppy including the white tip of its tail. You should also be aware that a purebred blue often has a lighter nose color and lighter eyes than the average tricolor Beagle. Also, just as a bit of trivia for you, blue beagles are born predominately gray and white, tricolors are born black and white, the tan comes in shortly after they are born.
I hope this helps!
