Default Re: What colour is he?

I'm a syrian judge and I'm unsure as well. It is very hard to tell from pics especially when in each one he does look a different shade.
I'm pretty certain his eyes are a very very dark red. This matches the ear colour which are only brownish tinged. If he were black eyed his ears would be much darker. I also think he may have a pattern but this is blurred because of the very long coat. In some pics he looks satin almost.
What colour is his Belly fur? If you lift up the coloured areas of fur does the colour go right down to the roots or can you see and greyish undercoat there?
On balance I also think Red eyed cream (?satin) or cinnamon satin with possibly a band or dominant spot pattern although you do say in real life there is no white.
Colours do change as the baby coat moults out so it may be a case of waiting and seeing. Also carried recessives affect the colour in hamsters so he may have a mix of genes all exerting an influence on his showing colour.

Had a look at his undercoat and I think the hair is lighter towards the roots. Also, you may be tightabout the satin as his hair is fairly shiny and fine now I come to think of it. However, having never owned a satin before I don’t have much experience to go by.
