super rex?
not sure I know what that one is
In simple terms, not text book quoted terms or specifics.
You have various looks to rex rats, the curly/wavy/whispy rex coats
you also have various types of the hairless/patchy/fuzzy "naked" rats out there
All of these are products of rex genes
Often it takes many generations to determine exactly what type of rexing gene your rats have & just the appearance alone will not determine this. (recessive/expresses/carries) You also have to know what you are pairing these rats with in order to predict the outcome because there are so many different traits that express themselves at different times & often some of these mutations can lay dormant for many generations until that "just right" genetic mix is found with a pairing.
Some rats will have a very typical looking standard coat expressed yet carry the rexing genes & will only express this in offspring when paired with the proper genetic type rat.

Some terms are rex, double rex, velveteen, satin, silky, harley, shorn, hairless, mock hairless, patchwork... give me a day & I can find all different types of terms that are tossed around & used to describe all the varieties.
That beige you described, is it beige or is it a dilute of a variety of other colors? Is it mink based? Could it be an apricot, topaz, or any one of a dozen other colors that are popping up.
Black is dominant so often when you are working with a recessive coloration you will get black. Being that you got black with one blue I would say you have red eye back in the genetic family tree. Most likely on two branches from mother & father's sides of the buck you bred the daughter back to. That beige color I would need to see to identify better since beige is far to generic to describe the various soft hues that range from butter cream colors to blondes to mink based to those orangey looking fawns & topaz rats.
now onto markings
Berkshire H/h & Hooded h/h
Not knowing the previous history of the rats there is no way to predict the out come but since this was a line breeding of daughter to Father you copied over enough to create the Hooded & you have marked furture generations produced from these offspring to carry hooded or varigated mismarked hooded markings.
