Color Variations

Standard Gray/Classic Gray
This is the most common type of glider. This variety is usually medium to dark grey with black markings and back stripe down its back, a white underbelly, and black coloring on the fingers and/or toes and part way up from the tip of the tail.



White Faced Blonde
This variety is is often somewhat lighter or more silver-y than the standard gray. Their main characteristic is the missing bar beneath their ear, it's solid white under their ears on both sides. Other than the lack of the bar beneath their ears the rest of the glider appears the same as a normal gray, just a bit lighter. It is believed that the higher the generation of WFB the more pale in color they will appear, for example people have bread out gliders they call 'super' WFBs.



White Face
This variety is the same as the WFB, in a sense. The main feature is the lack of a bar beneath the ear. Though a general White Face can be many colors. There are White Face Grays, Cinnamons, etc. They are the same as their normal color designates, like a gray for example.. the ONLY difference is the lack of their ear bar.

White Tip
This variety is probably one of the easiest to recgonize, most all of them have a distinctive white tip on the end of their tail! Some gliders may have a less noticable tip, even just a few hairs, so you may have to look closely. But generally they're easy to tell apart because the glider tail tip is usually dark, so it's quite a contrast to see the white tip against black fur.

Black Beauty
This variety is much like the classic gray though they usually have thicker and more noticable black markings. Often one of the biggest signs of a BB is the 'mascara' as people like to call it, the very dark rings around their eyes often connecting to the nose and ears. Their “chin strap” also sometimes completely meets under the neck where a normal gray glider only has a bit of coloring behind/slightly below the ears.

Color Shade Variations
While there are distinct color variations within gliders please consider that within each of those there is still a chance a glider could be darker or lighter. I have two standard grays.. one is darker and one is lighter, almost silvery. That doesn't make them a different variety of color, they're just different shades. This is usually possible with most any type of glider. I've also seen darker and lighter mosaics, too.
