I even thin the black nails are a good sign of strong color genetically.  We 
want good very black color on eye rims, nose, and lips.  These other places 
are felt to be further indicator of good color especially the roof of the 
mouth as you see it referred to in the literature as a good sign by the 
mountain shepherds and old time breeders who bred the dog for generations in 
their home and farm in France.
