Other names: Russian Burmese
Genetics: Non-agouti with two copies of the Russian blue gene, plus one copy of the Burmese gene and either one copy of the albino gene (aacbcrbrb) or one copy of the Himalayan gene (aacbchdd). The version with the Himalayan gene is slightly darker and quicker to get points in, depending on modifiers the split with albino version can be just the right colour or too pale at the points.
Description: A soft, mid blue-gray with warm overtones and heathering. The points are pale Russian blue. Eyes black.
Status: This colour is not recognised in UK rat clubs.
