Default Re: Still confused of what type of colouring my Syrian is

I'm no expert and it's hard to tell from the photos but could she be a chocolate syrian? Some people were breeding that colour. She looks more all one colour on your photos, than shades like the umbrous? Do you have a setting on your camera for "incandescent" light - it takes a way the warm yellow tone you get with indoor lighting so it might be easier to see the colour

So if you look at the roots of her coat on her back the colour is light is it? If it is light she cannot be an umbrous Golden as they have very dark grey almost black undercoat at the roots. Would you say the coat was like this hamster - this is a Yellow Black sometimes called a Melanistic yellow but he is a long haired hamster.

I just had a look as she was awake, he roots are darker than that and she has areas of grey on her almost like a Umbrous.

I took some pictures of her, it is in natural daylight so should be more helpful.

I’m leaning towards a umbrous brown/cinnamon/golden.

Not sure though.

I think you are right Umbrous Golden in that light.
