They are beautiful! No first hand experience, but they look like the color of
the 2 week old silver nutmeg on The Dani Color Spectrum page
http://www.geocities.com/Heartland/Plains/9792/spectrum.html (if they are
self-colored)
Does a silver schimmel have ruby eyes? (your pups' eyes look black in the
picture).
If they do have ruby eyes, what about an argente cream (if they have white
bellies), I believe I have two of those in my current Cara x Alan litter. Mine
started out a uniform pink though.
