Gerbil Colors Dictionary

 

It is possible that you saw a gerbil on a website with a different name then the one you're used to. 

Each country seems to use different names to speak about the same color. 

I hope that this dictionary will help you. Just to make it, it helped me understand everything

 

Trick: Often, it can be easier to use the genetic code to identify a color on a site of a foreign language. 

 

For the European English names : When there is no name wrote, that means that it is the same then the American name which is used for that color. Ex: Golden Agouti is used as much in Europeen English  as American. 

 

For the French names: When there is nothing writing, that means that I did not find equivalent. 

 

Do not hesitate to write to me if you find others ones! 

I could add a german or spanish category if you want to collaborate!
