Congrats! He's lovely, I'm not too good on colours but I think he's a blue, I'm sure someone will correct me if I'm wrong!

He`s gorgeous! I`m not clued-up on colours either so you would need to look at a breeders chart or a showing chart. he word Blue springs to mind with these grey-ish coats but I could be totally wrong. Does he have white paws? x

Re: New hamster - what is his colouring called?
I found this online but they can also be called Black. You would need to compare him with various images to be sure. This one looks similar and is being called Blue.

That looks more like a blue than a black to me RH, my first russian was black & really black not a dark blue grey like that.
Just found some quite good examples here I'm sure there's a better site showing colours too but can't remember where just now!

I think he is more blue than black and is does have a dorsal stripe.
I am still thinking if a name so any suggestions would be welcome.

Re: New hamster - what is his colouring called?
Yes, he does look more of a blue-steel grey than black. Such a gorgeous colour though. Can`t say I`ve ever seen this colour in a pet shop as they are usually normal or creams or tan. It`s nice to see something different.
As for a name, I would wait until you see his character come though. My hybrid was originally called Cubby and I changed it to Chubby! Similar, but suited his body shape! Sooty sounds a bit naff but he is a sooty colour!!! x

I'm currently using doodlebug as he spent the first hour I had him doodling about his tank! I'm going to show my nieces and nephew some video and photos it see what they think.
