what do you call it when a dog's coat is one color and the undercoat is another color?

I have a mixed breed dog who is mostly lab and German Shepherd. Her top coat is mostly black, but the undercoat is tan. Is there a name for that type of coloring? thanks for you help!

    I don't think it's called anything.-Most of the time the undercoat will be a different/light color.

    My dog is brown and white-Her undercoat is lighter color. Her is a picture of some of her undercoat: http://sphotos-a.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ash4/185462_...
