I picked him up and checked him out and there is no ticking to his fur. I think the flash of the camera may have caused him to look lighter in color. In person the brown on his nose is darker.
His coat isn’t really gray.. Its kind of a smooth of white, cappuccino color if day. And its the same color all the way through, its very slick and shiny looking.

From your description, I'm almost certain he is a siamese ;D.

Thank you everyone,
I really love his coloration.. does anyone know if this type of color variation is hard to come by or not?
Id like to get into breeding, at lest I really considering it. In order to get the same color in pups it would probably make the most sense to find a female with similar colors right?

It really depends where you live, whether siamese are easy to come by. In most of Canada, it nearly impossible to find one. I would breed him to a burmese female because that would give you siamese and burmese. Breeding two siameses together will give you siamese, burmese and dark-tailed white (white gerbils are harder to rehome).

I agree looks like a young siamese to me, Siameses are born in that light grey colour and there points appear after the first moult (kinda like dalmation puppies in the fact they are born white and the spots appear later) and some siameses points darken better than others. Judging by the slender body shape (I maybe wrong) I would say hes under 12 weeks so that maybe why his points are still quite light.
I agree with Queenofthenile that white pups are harder to rehome, you best bet is to find a nice burmese to breed with him, you will then get burmse, siamese and depending on the recessive genes possible colourpoint slate and LCP slate. I found all these colours are very popular and you should have no trouble homing them.
The worse colour I found to try and home is any kind of pied or spotted, pied and spotted blacks and slates being the worst.
