What kind of rat is this?

Hey, I am just curious, This rat has a really good looking color to it and wanted to know what it was called. The parents are no where near the same color and the entire litter ends up this color?
Some of the other posts I have looked at make think it is a blue but I dont know, BTW the pic is not a great representation of the rat in question.

Thanks in advance,
Chuck

I think you have your pics mixed up. The one you have as in question is an Agouti from what I can tell and know about rat colors. The second pic looks like it could be a blue.

It's Agouti.

It's an agouti, the same color as the parent shown in the picture.

They are both the same rat, I only used one to take the first 2 pics. The second one is actually closer to the true color of the rat, The first one is not great.

looks like an agouti to me but it's kind of hard to tell what the color is in the second pic. But here's a pic of my blue female I've seen some that are lighter but this should give you some idea of what it looks like.

Ahh..Didn't realize 1 and 2 were the same.

Thanks all for the great input here. I do appreciate it.
