Well, blonde is closer to the color I associate with pearls, so that tracks. And after seeing actual silver foxes below I see it makes sense too. But then calling an all black fox by a color name that ostensibly doesn't mean black is just... well, it's one of the choices of all time. So this is a red fox, with a silver coat, which is why it's black. Got it.
