I thought I was good with colours until I got this boy!
So at a glance he looks like a pink eyed white... but you can see in the light that he has a greyish “saddle” on this back? Is this just an illusion because he is a rex? His ruffled fur appearing a different colour?

I was thinking is he an incredibly pale champagne ? But then the region of colouration makes no sense right? Totally white head, belly, paws and grey/cream on this back?

So confused!

Not that it matters what he is - just curious!

And hi everyone - I’m new today :)

Hi there and welcome.

Its hard to tell from the pics but its possible he's a mismarked siamese where he has the shading going down his back to his butt. These mismarked's often have white markings when young that fade as the siamese develops and lightens up. How old was he when you got him?

I got him yesterday! They said roughly 10-12 weeks... colouration is so interesting! Thanks for your reply. Interested to see how he develops :)
