Default Re: What are a dwarf colors

Which dwarf species are you interested in?

Winter whites never have red eyes. They are found in normal, sapphire, pearl and marbled/merle.
Chinese are found in normal, dominant spot and black-eyed white.
Roborovski are found in normal, pied and husky (as recognised mutations by the NHC). There have also been white and headspot robos, as well as red-eyed ones.
Campbells are found in normal, argente, albino, black, chocolate, blue fawn, beige, champagne, opal, platinum and mottled (I may have missed a couple!)

Hybrids have no official colours. I tend to call them brown, orange etc They have been referred to as mushroom, mandarin, lemon etc.

The NHC handbook has a full list of the mutations which are recognised as pure in the different species as well as descriptions for the standard colours/patterns. There are some pictures on the MHC website.
