The Brown Velvet is a combination of three Dominant mutations, the Gunning Black Velvet , the Tower Beige and the Wilson White. The colour of this chinchilla strongly resembles that of the Pink White, albeit where the Beige veiling would show through, the colour of the fur is a slightly darker shade of Brown, rather than Beige. This is the influence of the Black Velvet. The Brown White carries the ear, eye and tail hair colour of the Beige, and should be a generally white chinchilla with a blue-brown hue showing through.
Genetics of the Brown White cross
The Brown White cross, although a combination of three Dominant mutations, is a relatively simple mutation to breed, and can be produced in a number of differing ways. The following matings would yield these results;
| Mating | Progeny |
| Brown

| Pink White x Black Velvet | Same as above |
| Brown Velvet x Wilson White | Same as above |
| Black White x Beige | Same as above |
Breeding Brown White crosses
The Brown White mutation is a relatively rare muattion, due to this combination of mutations. It has been around on UK show tables for a long time, and can be of good quality provided it has been bred using the best Standards, and initially was bred using the best Beiges, Black Velvets and Wilson Whites. The Brown White cross is a useful breeding tool, since if mated to a Standard, can breed a variety of Mutation colours. This method of breeding can also help to improve this mutation through the use of top quality standards. The Brown White cross is judged in with the Pink Whites, since it resembles these mutations most strongly. This actually aides the Brown-White since the additional strength provided by the Black Velvet fur can help fur strength. There should always be a blue hue present, which adds to this mutation's attractiveness.
