Does any one know of a site or info on how chins change color. . .from newborn to adult???
Does that make any sense???
 
Any particular color? I think it really depends on the line and sometimes colors change in ways that you can not predict.
 
I have not seen any websites that detail that, because it is not predictable at all, just like Bethany said. Whites change, mosaics usually get whiter, white ebonies usually get whiter too, pink whites get whiter as well. Ebonies can get darker or lighter. Brown velvets can be born beige and then turn brown velvet at around 3 months of age. Black velvets are born mostly standard with a black eye mask and black paw stripes, and then gradually turn black velvet. My tans get darker. Hmm...all I can think of now. That probably does not help much!

Actually what you wrote helps a lot, thanks
