Regular Agouti Colors

The Full Color gene on the C allele is the most dominate. You have 100% of the yellow pigment and black
pigment present on the animal.

​Agoutis are most dominate (Agouti is represented by A on the allele) Agouti color can vary widely;
between rufus factoring, umbros factoring, wideband, and other modifiers the color from one agouti
to the next even in the same litter can be drastic. Always ID your agoutis by their base color and not what
you think it looks like. Agoutis start with the most dominate on E allele Steel which is Es, then to full
extension E-, then to Harlequin ej-, and end at non extension ee.

Chestnut- Rich chestnut brown with black ticking, distinct ring color with a slate blue under color eyes
are brown. Kits are born black with white agouti markings and as they mature the yellow pigment that
gives them their rich chestnut brown coloring appears. Genotype is A-B-C-D-E-

Copper-Brilliant Red Chestnut with jet black ticking, distinct ring color and a slat blue under color, eyes
are brown. Kits are born black with white agouti markings and as they mature the yellow pigment comes
in a brilliant red color. Genotype is the same as Chestnut except for the Rufus factoring stacking giving
Copper this brilliant red color instead of the more brown color of a normal chestnut. A-B-C-D-E- Rufus
(+,++,+++,++++)

Wild Grey- Dark Chestnut brown with lots of black ticking, distinct ring color with dark slate blue
under color. Wild Grey are born black with white agouti markings and slowly gain the chestnut coloring
to their coat, they get a limited amount of the brown in their coat giving them a much darker appearance than a normal Chestnut. Genotype is the same as Chestnut except for the theorized Umbros
factoring gene which is a stacking gene similar to rufus. The more + on the Umbros gene the darker the
wild grey is. A-B-C-D-E- Umbros (+,++,+++,++++)

Opal- a tan with blue ticking, distinct ring color with a blue under color, eyes are blue grey. Kits are born
blue with white agoutis markings and as they mature the yellow pigment comes in to give them the rich
tan coloring with the blue ticking. Genotype is A-B-C-dd-E- (you could have rufus factoring or umbros
factoring on opals)

Chocolate Agouti- Rich chestnut with brown ticking, distinct ring pattern with a dove grey undercolor,
eyes brown. Kits are born chocolate with white agouti markings and as they mature the yellow pigment
gives them their rich chestnut brown coloring. Genotype is A-bbC-D-E- (you can have rufus factoring or
umbros factoring on a chocolate agouti)

Lynx- a tan with lilac ticking, distinct ring pattern with a pale dove grey undercolor, eyes are lilac grey.
Kits are born lilac with white agouti markings and as they mature they gain the tan coloring. Genotype is
A-bbC-ddE- (you can have rufus factoring or umbros factoring on a lynx)
