You could use http://rabbitcolors.info/ to lookup images with gene codes, but first read the help page to learn how to use the database!

EJE is a mosaic of normal agouti + steel rather than yellow + black, so yes, they can have bands too. Again this nice guy:

Someone liking black agouti satin wool calls the color marzipan.

@Alaska Satin any change could you try to make the owner get a nice side image on a neutral background? I used to explain the color series using tan rabbits (and i still miss a black at ch one). Now i have the idea to use black harlequin for this :-)

Its strange that it looks "normal" steel rather then black with very little agouti hairs, considering it beeing ESe. Can this thread be moved to the genetics forum?

Do you by chance have a microscope? If yes, look at some hair if you can see uneven color distribution, which would say dilution.

Yes, but it behaves more like ES, so EEJ look like a mosaik of agouti and steel. And thats also, why agouti doesnt matter in eJeJ ones - there are no receptors in light parts. yes, f.e. in californians, checkered giants and NZW. And i think there is an american breed coming in blue/white/red...

Do you mean AEww versus AeeW?

There are rabbits withoutMC1R receptors, looking pale yellow:

The yellow of rusty back is in the pheomelanin band, which is normally white in chin.

yes, the agouti band has nothing to do with brown b chinchilla do not influence the banding itself, but the color of the agouti band looks like steel to me. There is nothing preventing steels to be silvered too and there are silvers with fairly few silvering. ESe would have way fewer ticking...

The agouti band in guard hairs is usual lighter as in down hair.

Yellow/Red Coloration The intensity of pheomelanic color seems to be independent of agouti, there are distinct parts prone to more reddish color: top of head dorsal stripe, nape of neck top of tights, crescent-shaped heels lap spots Like in rusty back on chinchilla For yellow/red...

Agouti markings What exactly is this? Breed descriptions describe a lot of things like middle band, light eye rings, nose, ear, jaw, belly, lap spots, .... Regarding the action of ASIP this has not much to do with yellow/red coloration. Agouti causes the parts without eumelanin. Actually there...
