Miniver
Miniver, an unspotted white fur edged with grey, derives originally from the winter coat of the red squirrel. In England, the term became established as a general term for white or almost white fur.[1]
Miniver, in the original sense, differs from
heraldic fur, vair, translates the grey into blue, and alternates back and belly.[2][1][3][need quotation to verify
