Mocha looks choc roan from the pic? Really beautiful piggy! Slate is dark grey with dark ruby eyes and Lilac is a pale almost dove grey with pink eyes. Choc is in varying shades going from milk to dark. I prefer milk choc which also have dark ruby eyes. In the long haired breeds the colour seems to lighten as it grows longer. The true colour can normally be seen on the their face. Sometimes if you get a darker lilac and a lighter slate, its hard to tell what they are. Sometimes eye colour can help. Hope this helps. Lilac Coronet sow Slate Coronet sow Choc Merino Sow _________________ Coronet, Sheltie, Merino, Lunkarya & Tortoiseshell Guineapigs! Website: www.lilaccavies.piczo.com
