Well, from the picture above I guess blue/white. I think Minks have only aqua eyes (not totally sure, though). Her eyes do look aqua to me in that first pic.
My boy (now SOTM, YAY!!! (y) hehe) is a blue (or lilac) and white mink.

Mink means Aqua eyes. My guess is white/seal.

It can be so confusing. I am far from a pro on colors but if eyes are not Aqua then not mink. Seal and white is still my guess..,and may I add gorgeous.

Sorry to keep bugging- but if point means blue eyes and mink means aqua eyes- isn't that green? So if she has green eyes she's a mink? And does seal mean brown or greyish? Thanks! So I am guessing from what others have said that she is a seal mink? Breeder said she is defo a point but her eyes are not blue but they are very pale. X

Here is a pic of my girl...she is mink...see her eyes are Aqua not a true blue? Some time they look much paler. That grayish brown color on her is considered seal. If your breeder has experience I am inclined to say trust them.

Just asking cause she was confused herself as to what colour she was. My girls eyes look very similar to yours so I'm thinking mink, breeder did tell me she's a point but on her vaccination card she has wrote that she is a chocolate mink. X

I am by no means an expert on cat colors and Dobby doesn't seem to follow the color chart very well. His eyes are gold/brown and the majority of him is pink, but he's got a "saddle" of color down his back/sides and neck that is just a shade or two darker than the rest of him. His feet have white fuzz on them. Any guesses on his color?

I'd love to know what colors my cats are if anyone knows.... I'm guessing the female is black, though I've seen "blacker" sphynxes? And the male I don't know. In his papers I read white/cream? He has white on his nose, but also a beige color. His skin has two shades, one really light and the other a bit darker.

I agree the one is black, but need a better body shot of your second one, can't see body.

Can anyone guess what Blueberry's coloring is? I was told that she is blue but the older she gets, the darker her nose gets so I am thinking she must be blue seal or blue mink..? Still kind of confused on the difference between all the blue colors.. She is only 6 weeks old in these pics but do you think her nose will stay this dark / get darker? The first few pictures I have uploaded are of her and the last is of her brother Django who is what I would think of as a purely "blue sphynx" (nose same color as body, same gray color on entire body).. Note: I haven't seen her in person and she looks different in each pic but I just wanna know what she is!
and here is her brother Django who I would consider to be more of a pure "blue" color
he definitely looks different right?
Thank you!!

Not an expert at all either but possibly just a white? Since the paw pads and nose leather are pink? Maybe? ABSOLUTELY STUNNING BTW!

I wanted to add that the mom is a seal point and the dad is a white odd eye. I really hope that some one can help me with suggestions of color.
