A Russian Blue Agouti is a dark blue ticked rat, with a deeper undercoat of a light orange. The guardhairs and ticking are dark blue-grey and the ticking itself is heathered as a Russian Blue, through the heathering may be difficult to pick out. It is significantly darker than American Blue Agouti, and not nearly as reddish as Cinnamon, with a dark blue tone down to the skin. As with all Agouti, the belly is a lighter and greyer version of the top color. Eyes should be black.
