Depends on your county and location a bit - but in Southern UK - I find that all colours are homed, but people sometimes shy away from REWs/PEWs if both gerbils are that colour - same if both have pink-eyes. People seem to love Agouti and Black which is handy as they are the most produced colours...
However, I find it is the balance of colours that homes them - so I always add spotting to my lines if I can - so if the entire litter is black at least they will be Black and Black spotted!

In the southeastern US, the most popular colors tend to be Burmese, Siamese, Honey Cream, DEH, and anything Spotted/Pied/Mottled. People are also attracted to Nutmegs if they're mid-molt when they're adopted.

i've found that siamese/burmese and agouti or anything spotted are the most popular in the northeast US. whenever new gerbils come into the pet store those are the ones that get homed first

From my experience, gray and white gerbils are not popular. (gray as in sapphire, dove, etc. and white as in PEW/REW, not Polar Fox or BEW.) Everyone loves my Siamese and Burmese gerbils, and my black ones. The next favorite would be my REH's, especially the spotted one. And, as said, anything spotted is pretty popular. In general, most people prefer black eyes- I've never met anyone who actually liked red eyes more.

thanks so much to everyone it may seem weird that I ask this but when I breed I want it to be easier to find them good homes as crittercrazy said ,which I knew, that PEW/REW are not that popular so if I breed them and had all PEW babies it would be hard to find them a good home and that wouldn't be fair so I want to breed what is most popular so they will be easy to find good home
