I've been meaning to ask this question for ages but haven't got around to it. I haven't been sure about Luna's colour since I got her.
As a young pup she was white with grey ears and a grey tail with a white tip. Her eyes are black and reflect red and her claws are medium brown. Her siblings are nutmeg, agouti, slate, and I think pink-eyed white, and her mother was a grey agouti. Which means there are many genetic possibilities.

Then when she molted she developed grey ticking. She looks like a lightly ticked polar fox now, and even has a bit of a peachy undercoat, but she wasn't peachy at all as a pup.
Adult photos:
My best guess would be either a CP polar fox or CP silver nutmeg. The CP gene would presumably lighten the peachy colour and the ticking, while leaving a dark tail. Or maybe she's just a less-peachy-than-usual polar fox? Is there a way to tell the difference between a CP polar fox and CP silver nutmeg?
