This guy has tan spots and black spots, as well as white pied spotting. Some of the spot colors are more intermingled, but the patches over the eyes are pretty defined. His eyes, by the way, are red, which looks quite interesting over the black patch (can't really see in this photo). Sometimes these mice are odd-eyed, as well. This mouse is a satin.

Beigey, cafe-au-lait type coat

Notice lighter whitish nose, light feet and tail. This is the opposite effect of a siamese mouse; here, the points are light instead of dark. This mouse is longhair curly and satin.

These sisters are longhair satin x-brindles (the one on the right is curly too). The mouse on the right is also lighter than her sister; the brindling effect can vary greatly.

Tiger brindles can vary greatly. These shown are pretty average. They can also be almost all yellow with just a hint of stripe, or almost all dark.

You can really see the mix of black and gold in this photo.

On top is a sex-linked brindle, while on the bottom is a tiger brindle. They are completely different genetically, as well as appearance-wise. I like to compare their coloring/coat pattern as follows: the x-brindle is comparable to a tortoishell cat, while the tiger brindle is like a brindled dog.

The mouse on the left is obese, while the mouse on the right is pregnant. Sometimes it is hard to tell the difference, but usually a pregnant mouse's weight gain is restricted to the midregion. Plus the weight gain happens rapidly in the last week of pregnancy. By the way, the mouse on the left is a chinchillized sable/brindle. Brindles are in the dominant yellow family and tend to become obese. The mouse on the right is a Berkshire (berkie). She has a head blaze, white spotted belly, white feet and tail.
