Hey! My 2.5 week old ND is a solid black like her father (her mom is a broken black otter). Today I was looking at her and when I spread her fur apart it is gray underneath. Her dad is solid black. Is she going to stay solid black?
 
Black rabbits don't usually change colour with age - the exception are rabbits with the silver gene, such as D'Argents or Silver Fox ;)

It could be that your rabbit is a self chinchilla or a "snowball" or is a black but with some unknown genetic factor lightening her under coat
 
Seals can look black and lighten to more of a dark chocolate but that is probably not happening here. I just had to state a color change example. Yours probably just has an undercoat fault where it is lighter than it should be.
