Hello.
First of all I'm sorry for my english.
I have three chinchillas.
black velvet female + beige homozygous.
I have a problem to identify their daughter.
I always thought that from this colors will always born brown velvet (tov beige), because many sources say so (in my country). But I was looking in google about this color and now I don't know what to think about this. In this calculator http://www.silverfallchinchilla.com/genetics/ChinCrossCalculator.aspx it comes out that there is 50% chance for brown velvet and 50% for hetero beige. I have a problem with it.

What do you think about it? Is this brown velvet or hetero beige? Father is much brighter than her and from others hetero from web, so I think he is homozygous. This is father: https://imgur.com/a/DIUAb (he has pink eyes)

I ask because I'm going to buy a male for her and I wonder if can it be white wilson or pink white chinchilla.
 
She looks beige to me, not dark enough coloring for a brown velvet and it could be the lighting and angle but I don't see any actual veiling. Homozygous beige just means that both of the father's parents where beige chins, if they weren't then he is a hetero beige. However, to be 100% change of a homo beige the parents need to both be homo beige as well, otherwise their is just a 25%-50% chance (depending on if they were hetero/hetero or hetero/homo) of him being homo beige. You can't really tell 100% just by looking at the chin itself if it's hetero or homo beige, you have to look at the genetic line. There are some lighter hetero beige and some darker homo beige, so you can't go by that alone, also both can have redish eyes. After looking at the pic of the male though I would agree that he is likely homo, he is rather light in color.

I actually had a similar pairing, a beige female and black velvet male, and they had 2 beige babies. My pair were accidental, we got them as a bonded pair of males, so I don't know the genetic background of them.

A couple of these have 50% brown velvet and 50% heterozygous beige. Pink white is better if you want some homozygous beige kit
