I'm unsure of the color of my duck muscovy

[Deliriousdrago7]

I tried Reddit did you say he's dirty, but he's not.You slow against color eachmonth. He does not fit none of the colors on ID sites. When he was a baby he was a light gray color. Trying to figure this out ever since six months ago. His name is trouble.He lives up to his name. Please help .

This thread has one looking pretty close:

Someone in that thread posted this link http://www.aviculture-europe.nl/nummers/14E06A08.pdf where it looks to me to be a Tortora if you scroll down to see that description.

Maybe a lavender ripple.

If it was a chicken, I would say porcelain. I know there's some ducks with porcelain (inverse mille fleur) but an internet search isn't showing muscovies with them.

This website has recently updated. It now has porcelain as a color.

Yeah, I scanned that for a second time (just found it myself a few days ago) but trying to find a backup reference (at least with a superficial search) I didn't find one.

I have also tried to find some other colors she mentioned, but couldn't. So it's hard to trust it as a source rather than as a good starting point for ideas.
