The common brown rat (Rattus norvegicus) is greyish-brown, though some are darker or lighter coloured.

The black rat (Rattus rattus) despite its name exhibits several colour forms - black to light brown in colour with a lighter underside.

Tame pet rats come in many colours from white to black with many shades and colour patches in between.

What is the difference between albino and pigmented rats?

An albino rat will have no color - that is red / pink eyes, only white fur with no other pigmentation. An albino rat will have no color on their tail either, it should be pinkish. I have a white rat that I thought was albino, but as he grew older, there was some slight pigmentation on his tail, a little bit of brown/black. This means he's not a true albino, as there is pigmentation.
