Other names: Russian agouti, dark opal
Genetics: Agouti with the Russian blue gene (a-rbrb). Similar to a dark blue agouti in many ways, but easy to tell apart by the heathering effect that is common to all Russian based colours.
Description: A blend of dark blue ticking over a fawn ground. Heathering of the blue ticking is normal for this variety and is not a fault. Undercolour to be dark blue down to the skin. Foot colour to match top. Belly colour silver. A brown tinge to the ticking to be considered a fault. Eyes black.
Status: This colour is standardised in UK rat clubs with the name Russian blue agouti
