Blue? Lilac?

[CeroBlanco]

Hi all, in your opinion is the little bunny in the first photo blue, lilac or something else? I think blue, but I saw images of some blue rabbits that are a lot darker than him. Maybe only a different shade of blue? In the second photo, there is his grandfather, if it can help. Parents are both black.

Blue. If I am remembering correctly Lilac would have a rosy cast in the eyes.

Looks blue to me

Wool dilutes the color, which might be why he seems lighter than some other blues. Blues tend to have a colder tint their fur, while lilacs tend to have a warmer tint to their fur, along with often having a red cast to their eyes

And the winner is blue! Thanks to both for your help.
