Cant seem to find the color name for my poodle

Question
I just got a new standard poodle pup over the weekend.  Prior to going to get him, I was told he was a blue poodle.  When I got there, he was very shaggy (nine months old) and his outer coat looked to be more of a soft brown, his face looked creamy... I thought perhaps Cafe Au Lait.  But, his eye rims/lips/nose are black...and after I clipped him, His body looks to be more of a greyish/brown, face is silvery, almost white.  His feet have greyish brown...Head is more brown, but turning more of a silver in the front.  If he were silver, there wouldn't be brown right?  I want to know what to call him, as people are constantly asking me, as he is very striking!  I can send pics if you need to see those to figure it out.  Thanks!  Darcy

Answer
Your question is way past me.  Here is a site that you should enjoy even if it doesn't help, http://www.vipoodle.org/  http://www.jagerslatijn.nl/jagerslatijn/poodle.htm too.  And here is a picture I took at a meeting of people raising puppies for a dog guide school.  Poodles are prized as service dogs because of their low dander.  People with dog allergies can still have a service dog.

When I registered as a Poodle expert, there wasn't anybody else.  I figured I am better than nobody.  In my dog guide work I do see a few.
