Hi there - The Light grey gene in Syrian hamsters is now thought to be extinct. It was always a fragile gene and the LgLg combination is lethal.
With the rise of the very dominant, robust Silver grey gene many people are thinking they have light grey however the animal in breeding turns out to be silver grey or a silvery grey mix. With the combination gene colours they usually have silver or dark grey. All the ivories seem to be silver or dark grey based.
I've never seen a true light grey in all my time showing and judging.
UK is looking to remove light from the colour standards.
