Silver brindle is caused by the greying gene (G locus), which turns black to grey as the dog ages.

Sometimes dogs with black stripes and a very light cream base (see above) are also referred to as silver brindles.

This is because the pale base can cause the black stripes to appear lighter than they actually are.
