Color of this kit?

[RabbitPhotoGirl]

I've been researching a little bit on colors but this one still has me confused since it seems to be changing colors, at least to my eyes it seems to be.

Blue and Chin are what have been said so far for it but it seems to be changing colors on me too much for me to tell what it is for certain. I've been researching colors for Mini Rex and Holland Lop to see if I can find one that either matches or mostly matches for it.

I'll try to get some good pictures of it later I think I bugged it enough to make it hide in the back of the nest until feeding time or until tomorrow. I'll take it outside tomorrow in the sun to get pictures if it is sunny and then also use my flash to get better pictures.

(only way I could get it still to take a good side picture was to hold it like that)

Edit 5/27/12- here are some of the baby pics/other pictures I have of it.
Newborn is this one

a few days old is this one

I'd like to see pictures in the light. It looks to be a redish brown, with black tipping? If so, It looks a lot like a castor to me. Castors go through many stages.

LAvender? I am really new so i am not sure.. But anyways its really cute and fuzzy looking!!!

 

[ladysown]

castor or chestnut to my eyes

 

[curlysue]

Its not blue,too me thats an Opal.

Its agouti, whether its chestnut or opal is hard to say from the pictures here. It should be easier with new daylight pictures to tell if its dilute or not.

 

[Smith's Rabbits]

I say Opal

 

[LilFish_JWQueen(:]

Thats a chestnut or castor..whatever your breed wishes to call it lol

 

[Cattle Cait]

I agree with the castor/chestnut replies. The brown tint and appearance of ring color gives it away.

Opal, I have two litters full of Opal babies at the moment. :b

An opal would look more like a blue, until you blow into it an see the rings.

I added newborn pic of it (and it's litter mates but it's the gray one) and one with the flash of my camera when it was just a few days/week old to the first post.

Taking so long for daylight pictures because it's either raining and cloudy/dark or too hot to be outside and cool days seem to happen on doctor visit days. If I can get help today I'll see about more natural lighting in the living room to get a picture.

Not a chin. This is a litter of chins, 10 days old.

a bit hard to see, but it's all salt and pepper at 12 days old, and even before that. they don;t change much

This is a 8 week old blue, a solid color, no white underbelly or white ears. Your kit is agouti marked for sure.

the kit next to him is a broken opal. Opal is dustier (or lack of better term) than blue, and the ring color is a bit lighter than a castor. An opal kit would look like a dusty gray with a tan/castor ring, tan behind the ears, tan ear lacing and tan trimming the nose.

I would say Opal

that pict at a few days old does look opal, castor would be nearly black at that age.
