Black or just a really dark Siamese Sable?

[RabbitsOfTheCreek]

I'm not keeping him because I can't show him because of his white armpits (VM mark) but I am going to pedigree him to sell.
He's always looked like a Black but recently (The past month I guess) he's been looking very brown
His mother is a darker-than-usual Siamese Sable
And her parents are a Black Himi and a Siamese Sable
His father is a BEW with BEW and VM Black Otter parents
(Sorry if the pictures aren't the best but he kept moving lol)

Definitely has that sepia brown tint, I'd vote for the very dark sable. Any sable on the BEW side?

I can check his Pedigree

Not that I found, but there is Chestnut and Silver Marten if that means anything

Well I'm already going with Siamese Sable but his fur is also light on the inside, I don't think Blacks have that

Oh yes, blacks can have fiber that fades to pale. It's a trait I'm trying to eliminate. I would love to know what causes it This is fiber from a black English angora, you can see how quickly it fades to pale. I've had plenty of angoras that didn't do this, but now it seems to be common. No idea why.
