You might well have a new color on your hands! :))
 
I went to the Gerbil Gene Predictor and copied only the "Undefined" possibilities. From there I eliminated all those combination which were not color point or spotted sense this pup is obviously CP. There was no mention as to the color of the eyes, so I kept the dark eyed possibilities.
 
I then looked up my genetic chart and tried to match the "undefined" combinations to those which are known and freely listed on various web sites.  I did this by matching the "core" genetic information, namely the A,E,G, and P loci and applied the color point term to the closest match.
So, the results are as follows:
 
Agouti based possibilities (white bellied), from the parents genetics.
 
Dark Eyed, white bellied
 
    Aa chcb EE gg Pp Spsp - Spotted Undefined - 0.390625% = Color Point Grey Agouti
 
  • Aa chcb Ee gg Pp Spsp - Spotted Undefined - 0.78125% = Color Point Grey Agouti
  •  
  • Aa chcb ee gg Pp Spsp - Spotted Undefined - 0.390625% = Light Color Point Polar Fox
  •  
     
    Pink Eyed, white bellied
     
  • Aa chcb EE Gg pp Spsp - Spotted Undefined - 0.390625%
  • Color Point Argente Golden??  
     
  •  Aa chcb Ee Gg pp Spsp - Spotted Undefined - 0.78125%
  • Color Point Argente Golden??  
     
  • Aa chcb ee Gg pp Spsp - Spotted Undefined - 0.390625%
  • a Color Point Yellow Fox??
     
  • Aa chcb EE gg pp Spsp - Spotted Undefined - 0.390625%  
  • The closest genetic combination is that of Ivory Cream. Perhaps it's a Color Point Ivory Cream??
     
  • Aa chcb Ee gg pp Spsp - Spotted Undefined - 0.78125%   
  • The closest genetic combination is that of Ivory Cream. Perhaps it's a Color Point Ivory Cream??
     
  • Aa chcb ee gg pp Spsp - Spotted Undefined - 0.390625%
  • a Color Point Apricot??
     
     
    Self Colored, Dark Eyed
     
  • aa chcb EE gg Pp Spsp - Spotted Undefined - 0.390625% = Light Color Point
  • Slate
     
  • aa chcb Ee gg Pp Spsp - Spotted Undefined - 0.78125% = Light Color Point Slate
  •  
  • aa chcb ee gg Pp Spsp - Spotted Undefined - 0.390625% = Light Color Point Silver Nutmeg
  •  
     
    Self Colored, Pink Eyed
     
  • aa chcb EE Gg pp Spsp - Spotted Undefined - 0.390625%
  • This could be one of several possibilities: Color Point Lilac, Color Point Dove, Color Point Sapphire, or Pink Eyed Siamese??
     
      aa chcb Ee Gg pp Spsp - Spotted Undefined - 0.78125%
    This could be one of several possibilities: Color Point Lilac, Color Point Dove, Color Point Sapphire, or Pink Eyed Siamese??
     
  • aa chcb ee Gg pp Spsp - Spotted Undefined - 0.390625% = Light Color Point Argente Nutmeg
  •  
  • aa chcb EE gg pp Spsp - Spotted Undefined - 0.390625%
  • a Pink Eyed Color Point Slate??
     
  • aa chcb Ee gg pp Spsp - Spotted Undefined - 0.78125%
    a Pink Eyed Color Point Slate??
  •  
  • aa chcb ee gg pp Spsp - Spotted Undefined - 0.390625% = Red Eyed Light Color Point Silver Nutmeg
  •  
    I would love to hear what other on the list might think of this ;)  Particrlarly those who really are experts at this genetics thing.

    Subject: Another Mystery Color

    I am adopting a mystery colored gerbil from a friend. Her gerbil had pups.
    The parents are a Pied Ivory Cream, and a siamese. The pup has the Pied Ivory
    Cream features but has the tail, ears, nose, and feet of a siamese gerbil.
    Weird, huh? Has anyone else every discovered this?
