Since the parents are both black, the pup must be aa (non-agouti), so PEW
is not possible, maybe DTW. Now do PEW and DTW the same as pups, they are
pink, and later when hairs start growing, they are white.
Silvery grey does sound like lilac to me. What about the eyes, you can see
through the eyelids, and see if they are dark (black) or light (red)
coloured. My guess is that it is lilac.
I don't have a picture of a young lilac on my pages, but they are not that
different from an adult lilac.
