Here are the ryukin colors that I've seen:
Red (or Orange)
Red/White
Red/Black
White
Black
Blue (Silver) -- video at Aquarama 2007
Calico (Red/White/Black)
Tri-color (Red/White/Black)
Yellow
Yellow/Black
White/Black -- here's a video of one at this year's Aquarama
Chocolate (Brown)
and probably more that I'm not remembering just now, as well obscure and rare ones like Green

So, pretty much almost all of the same colors as all goldfish can come in, surprise, surprise. I think the only goldfish coloration that I haven't seen on a ryukin is the blue/chocolate combo. The reds, red/whites, and calicos are by far the most common.

Edit: adding more colors as I think of them
Edit: added video for blue

Are you making that up or did you see this colours on them.

 

[SnBMeg]

I'm not making any of it up in the least. All of those are colors that I have seen either in person or in photographs. I could try finding photos and links to post for each one, I guess, like I did with the white/black. ;p

 

[Tokis-Phoenix]

I've seen those colours on goldfish (not nesarsarily ryukins), apart from the blue/silver.

Why are you being so ignorent...

I've seen those colours on goldfish (not nesarsarily ryukins), apart from the blue/silver.

Given that they're the same species, I suppose it's not surprising that different breeds generally have the same range of colors.

Blues are definitely not common! Here's another Aquarama entry from this year, which I'm pretty sure is a blue ryukin (video makes it a bit hard to be 100% certain.)

I almost never see blues--of any breed--around where I live, and I've just been lucky to get both a blue/chocolate oranda and a lace-blue/chocolate telescope-eye:

Here's a Google Image search of "ryukin" with 1,460 pictures found. Browse through them and I'm sure you'll see most of the range of colors. Of course, gold, red/white and calico seems to be the most common colors. http/images.google.com/images?q=ryukin&a...tart=0&sa=N
