CHINCHILLA COLOR MUTATIONS:

The First Page

Standard Grey
This is the original color and is genetically Standard + Standard. The fur color on the back and head is anywhere from pale grey to almost black. The eyes are black, ears are dark grey, tummy is white, and paws have a dark stripe. Each hair on the back and sides is black at the base, changing to white, then a grey tip. This is known as the agouti stripe.

Black Velvet
(TOV Standard)
Genetically this chin is Standard + TOV. The fur color is black on the head and back and grey (with the agouti stripe) on the sides. The eyes are black, ears are dark grey, paws have a black stripe, and tummy is white. An animal with a "good veil" will be solid black from head to tail with the grey sides. One with a "bad veil" will have grey hairs mixed in on the back, especially across the shoulders.

* Beige
Genetically this chin is Standard + Beige. The fur color on the head and back is light cream to dark beige, with the agouti stripe described for the Standard, only with brown/beige shades rather than black/grey. The eyes are red, ears are pink, and paws and tummy are white.

* Brown Velvet
(TOV Beige)
Genetically this is a Beige + TOV chin. The fur color is dark beige to chocolate brown on the head and back, getting lighter on the sides. The eyes are red, ears are pink, paws have a brown stripe, and tummy is white. The "veil" standard is the same as for the Black Velvet.

* Homo Beige
Genetically this chin is Beige + Beige. The coloring is much like that of a Hetero Beige except that the fur is a lighter cream color with the agouti stripe. The eyes are pink with a white iris, ears are pink, and paws and tummy are white.

Pink White
Genetically this is a White + Beige chin. The fur color can be from white to very light beige or champagne. The eyes are pink or red, ears are pink, and paws and tummy are white. Any beige coloring is on the tip of the otherwise pure white hair shaft and can appear in patches (often referred to as Beige Mosaic) or evenly distributed (often referred to as Starlight).
