Notes:
This chart can be applied to partis or solids. For partis, just ignore the white coat color. For example, for black & white partis, ignore the white and use the chart for black coats. For solids: everywhere it says red on the chart, just replace the word red in your mind with the word buff instead.
This chart only considers the basic Cocker coat colors: black, red, and brown. Sable, roan, merle, etc. are not considered.
For the purposes of this chart, ignore tan points.
For this chart to be much use to you, it's important to know whether your dog carries any recessive coat color genes. You can make some guesses based on your dog's pedigree, or based on any previous litters your dog has had. For a more definitive answer, use VetGen's "ChromaGene™" Coat Color Prediction Service.
