Have a little question. I have a litter of mini rex/californians. The buck is black and the doe is a gray point cali. Well I posted pics of the litter on another post. The question is they have 2 black kits but their under belly seems to be white. Im wondering what would you call that color. I will try to post pics of the 2 later today.
 
Sounds like they are some sort of agouti, likely chestnut. As kits they all have coloured backs and white/pink bellies

Here is a picture of a chinchilla which is a dark shaded agouti.

the forth kit in the pics looks like a chinchilla, def in the agouti group
I'd think the second kit is frosty, but that is my fav rabbit color so I think any kit like that is frosty (or BEW)
 
You've got an agouti, a red eyed white, black and another agouti. In order to get agouits, that cal would need to be an agouti himi. I'm still working on that.
 
Here is a few pics of the parents.

Quite the rainbow!

I agree with Skysthelimit except I think the second kit is a Cali and not a REW, it has a bit of a grey tinge which indicates temperature sensitivity, but you won't know until they get a bit more fur.

Mom is an agouti that carries a black and a self gene as well as two himalayan (Cali marked) or a himalayan and red eye white.

Pop is black, so he has two self genes, and carries himalayan or REW
