Is this what I think it is?

He is cute but not a pearl. (as quoted from AFRMA's website)
http://www.afrma.org/rmpic/pearlrat.jpg PEARL - To be palest silver, shading to creamish undercolor. Each hair to be delicately tipped with gray evenly over the whole animal. Belly fur pale silver gray. Foot color to match top. Eyes black. (English N.F.R.S.)

Oh ok. He's a weird color though. Never really seen it myself.
Re: Is this what I think it is?

Re: Is this what I think it is?
I call that apricot.. but perhaps fawn is the 'official' color.
