Blue Cream and Lilac Cream

 



Betty has a litter of three French Angora junior bucks.  The middle one is chestnut, the two on the either side are cream.
Can you tell the difference between the two cream color?

Betty and the two cream boys.   Though both will be listed as cream on their pedigrees, this picture shows very distinctive difference between the two.  The one in the front is a blue cream and the other one is a lilac cream.  

Cream is the dilute of fawn in Angora. 
Blue Cream: A-B-C-ddee
Lilac Cream: A-bbC-ddee
 
(In Netherland Dwarf, the dilute version is fawn and non dilute is orange.  Angora has adopted the cream/fawn name as early as in the 40s while the Netherland Dwarf breed was not accepted until 1979. )
