The strangest color : Rabbit Colours and Genetics

Since birth I felt this guy had a weird color. He had a yellow hue to his fur but it wasnt the most obvious thing so I wanted to wait see how it'd progress.

a bit older, he's definetly yellow but still not clear what's happening


And here we are 2 months later and Im still confused. Been using http://www.gbfarm.org/rabbit/holland-colors-matrix.shtml to get ideas of colors when I'm not sure and I've got no clue. I though maybe a chocolate point white since theres no picture for that one but when looking it up the rabbits arent as yellow on the body as my guy. I have him next to his himalayan brother as a control to show how yellow he is.




Anyone know what color this is?

My instinct is the say chocolate himalayan with baby frosting. But... I raise himalayans, so who knows.

Chocolate based himmies have more of a cream shade to the white area, even without smut. I used to have some example photos of this, but I can't seem to find them. Might have to take some new ones.

Take that with a grain of salt, though, I'm no color expert.

EDIT: Just ignore me, I wasn't paying attention to eye color. Either way, he's cute!

Not himalayan as the eyes are dark. It could be a chocolate frosty or a chocolate sable point?

You're not the only one!
I typed out Chocolate Himalayan with smut of some sort, and noticed eye color at the last minute

Seems I'm not the only one puzzled by this color XD

The frosty on the matrix seems to have a thicked fur but mine doesnt rly.

Chocolate point or chocolate sable point is probly closest to this?

I'd say probably chocolate point (chocolate sable point) for now.

Oh wow even the mighty SableSteel isnt 100% sure (from the way you worded it anyways ) This means I've really got myself a crazy color XD
This one is going to end up in my plate but maybe I should keep one of this color if a good fluffy one comes out.

Btw since I never mentionned it, these bunnies are crosses between my english angora and my single mane netherland dwarf lionhead mix chocolate otter buck. For some reason even though the mom is a fluffy monster they didnt get fluffy at all exept theblue one :/ and since these 2 didnt get the dwarf gene I didnt sell em for pets so they're basically my personal brand of meatmutt. What a convoluted way of getting meatmutts XD

I agree it's a chocolate sable point
