Here are some non-standard Great Dane colors:

* Merle: This color, often seen in other breeds, is not allowed in Great Danes due to health concerns.

* Piebald: This pattern, with large patches of white, is not recognized by the AKC.

* White: A pure white coat is not standard and is rare.

It's important to remember that the AKC guidelines for Great Dane colors are specific to the breed standard and might differ from other kennel clubs or countries.
