Your ferret is a roan or a silver.  Silvers range from black mitt to
black roan mitt to roan to dark eyed white patterned to dark eyed white.
Those are the major colors and there are many shades in between.  Here's
a link to a pic of Cabana Boy, one of my roan hobs (black roan mitt,
medium silver, etc.)

Hope that helps!
