I have a young 6 month old female that seems to have a dark mask on her face and a dark back. White belly and light sides. I keep thinking she's going to change to a more even coloration but she seems to have settled on this look, what would you call this coloration? Does anyone think it will change the more she matures?

It is common for the masking on TOVs to take some time to fill in all the way. When I got my black velvet as a kit, he looked like a standard except for a little masking on his face. You do indeed have a brown velvet. She may continue to darken up a bit.
 
Yes she is a brown velvet. They can darken until they are a year old i believe. So she may change a bit more before she is done.
 
I too would guess brown velvet but there's also the slim possibility that she's a tan w/o TOV. Her belly isn't bright white but it does look like she has the classic TOV mask/veiling. Do you have any idea what her lineage is at all?
