The information below is based on that avaliable at "The National Mouse Club", which provides descriptions of fancy breeds of mice - mice bred selectively for the purposes of showing. As with other Small Rodents, the examples displayed below are not strictly breed types but rather, a description of colours and markings commonly found.

Self

The colours below are the most commonly found in Fancy mice. Body colour should be evenly distributed across the whole body. Ears, tail and belly should also be the same as the main body colour.
