What color is this baby?

[Koshka]

Mom: **** Beige
Dad: Black Velvet
Does the baby look like dark tan, light tan, TOV tan, may be a beige that will lighten up later?
What do you guys think?

You can only get brown velvet or beige out of that pairing. Tan requires the ebony gene.

Usually it takes a bit for TOV to show, and it's really hard to tell from those pics on my phone.

As said you can't get tan from that pairing, here is a chinchilla color calculator http://www.silverfallchinchilla.com/genetics/ChinCrossCalculator.aspx Just input the genetics of the parents and you get the possible offspring. That being said it looks like a beige to me, the kit is still young so it will change some since what you see is just the baby fur.

Beige

Yes, I saw that chin color calculator, but wasn't sure if it was 100% accurate. It's too light to be a Black Velvet and seems a bit too dark to be a Beige. He looks smoky, so like tan. I don't have much experience with Velvets (just bought a few of them 2 months ago from a retiring breeder) so I am not sure how the color is going to develop and very excited to see! I will post some pictures here when he is a few weeks older!

Looks Beige to me as well. Either way, he/she is super adorable

Looks beige to me too. You also cannot get black velvet out of that pairing either.

Does the kit have a white/lighter belly? If so, beige, if not, Brown Velvet (Hetero Beige)

 

[seachin]

Sorry Nikki, that's inaccurate. A brown velvet can and should have a white belly.

There is no evidence of TOV in that kit. Even though it's a newborn, you would have some indication (a mask or just darker around the eyes) if it were. From that pairing, all you can get are beiges or TOV beiges.

Nevermind, I'm thinking of wraps...

I agree the kit is a beige. You can only get beige or brown velvets from your pairing and there is no hint of the tov veiling.

Yes, only hetro beige or brown velvet are possible. Your **** beige parent would appear light. So the smokey darker beige you are describing is the hetro beige color. It is the presence of one standard gene that makes it darker and "greyer" than pure beige.

Beige is my first love, I love all variations of it. =D

 

[Koshka]

You were right! He is Hetero Beige. I had a Brown Velvet born the other day and I can see the mask and the stripes on paws. Here is the picture update of the baby as he is 1 month old now. Isn't he a cutie Someone reserved him already but I so want to keep him now.....
