I have owned rats many times over the years but it is only until I have come across this forum that it has been bought to my attention that there are different 'types' of rats. Can someone outline the different types and what makes them that etc So far I have hears of the- Berkshire Irish got a brain freeze atm but there is also said somehwere about MM capped, satin, bew and so on. Id really like to know more about this. Cheers ;D

MM means mismarked. The markings aren't perfect.
Coat Types: Standard, Carasilk, Silky, Rex, Double Rex, Patchwork Rex
Markings: Berkshire, Downunder, Variegated, Irish, Bareback, Capped, Blazed, Hooded, Self
Colours: Agouti, Black, Silverfawn, Topaz, Argente, Cinnamon, Blue, Dove, Mink, PEW, BEW, REW, Champagne, Buff.
Basic idea, since there's more I've missed but that's off the top of my head.

First 5 are berkshires. The last one, Fifi, is a hooded. Can't tell her colour that well from the photo. Maybe a dove? Looks a bit 'magnolia-ish' which indicates buff rather than dove, but I'm unsure.

What colour eyes does she have? She looks either buff or dove to me.

Her eyes are pink and the colour of her coat is similar to beige

Then Id say a weird coloured champagne or maybe silverfawn?

Buff have ruby eyes. Dove have ruby eyes. Champagne? Silverfawn? What do you think, Sharz? Not quite apricot-y enough to be silverfawn.

I think she's champagne, looks a little dull for champagne, but it might be just the lighting?
