Is this enough color on this broken?

That looks like plenty of color to me, though it is entirely up to the discretion of the particular judge.
Some years ago I had a Satin junior buck that had less color than yours (smaller side markings and no spine marking at all) and he won at least 2 GC legs before he left for another barn. (He was not a charlie, in spite of his few markings.) At that time, though, the Satin breed standard faulted, but did not disqualify, for less than 10% color, and there was no general disqualification, like there is now.
But that was back when judges seemed to take the "less than 10%/more than 50%" rubric pretty seriously. Now most are moving to a more honestly subjective (IMO) judgment that the rabbit should not look like a charlie or a booted.
That's what I was thinking, but since I have no personal show experience, I have nothing to go on. Thanks for sharing an example of a rabbit you successfully showed! That helps!
I have a kid coming to find a rex for 4H and I want make sure that my current litter had no DQs. He was the only one I was worried about, the other broken has a great pattern and the other 2 are nice looking REWs.
