Does anyone have an idea as to what colors would come from a BEW and a Chocolate Harlequin being bred together ? (Holland Lop)

Unless you know the parents of the BEW, it would be really hard to predict what colors would come from that match up. BEWs are very unique because that gene (known as 'vv' or the vienna gene) masks all the other genes that he/she carries.

What is your goal in breeding? (Are you breeding for show? or for pet/meat?)
Reason I'm asking is because show breeders try to avoid crossing BEW and chocolate, as it can give an undesirable (from a show standpoint) red tinge to the blue eyes.
You can't really know what is likely out of that crossing without knowing what colors are in the BEW's lines/genetics, but it is likely that they'll have some vienna markings on them.
