What are they? Colour help please!

Wow it's a pain to try to take pics of a bunch at once! These are my best efforts. It's frustrating because one lighting will make a certain colour look more true than a different lighting. The 4th one shows the blue one the best (leftmost rat), since it's got the most natural light, but super blurry. I tried to adjust the colour on the pics to match it closer to real life. Here's the rundown on who's in the pictures:

1: Mom - black berkshire
2: black and white bareback
3: blue
4: himalayan
5: albino
6: blue agouti
7: triple dilute hooded
8: chocolate/cocoa


What's the deal with mink? I don't really understand that colour at all, since all the pics I see online just look like a brown rat, but not as rich as the cocoa/chocolate ones. Can you get blue and mink in the same litter?

3 kind of looks like a Russian Blue in the first picture. But a mink in the second.
I still think 6 is a mink.

Minks have a purple-ish brown coloration.

You can get blue and mink in the same litter.

Here's one of my blue/mink/lilac litters:
