Russian Fawn is a rarely-seen color. It should be a warm shade of orange-cream with silver ticking and silver-blue guard hairs. The undercaot should have a blue cast close to the skin. As with all Agouti colors, the belly color will be a ligher, creamier version of the top color. The eye color may be any shade of red to dark ruby but pink eyes is considered undesirable. Since this color derives from Russian Blue, there will be heathering on the hairs, though they may be difficult to pick out on such a light color.
