Looks like it might be a brindle and I haven't seen many Danes that color but he is pretty

He looks sort of brindle, kind of like Atti.

That is a beautiful dog! :) I think there is one on BPO who is similar in color, somewhere between merle and brindle. The dog's name is Moose I think?

"Back yard bred" Danes often show up in very mismarked colors. Of course they are gorgeous animals, I love all Danes, but you have to wonder what else the "breeder" ignored besides color matching when they chose the breeding pair... :-\ I am constantly crossing my fingers that Leeloo (our rescue mismarked Dane ;)) doesn't turn up to have any horrible genetic problems. So far all we know is she has some deformed teeth in the back of her mouth. Otherwise she is very healthy. ;D

He does look like my Moose. I think we decided that Moose is a blue brindle merle.
