Help verifying color

[NicoleW]

I THINK I have the colors figured out.
If any are incorrect or missing something. I would greatly appreciate your input and feedback as it helps me to learn.

Sunflower - broken black tort
Brie - bew
Cloud - magpie (I’m not sure if she would also be considered sable?)
Meeko - magpie
Sunny - black

Hello! I have a litter of French lops and I am unsure of a few of there colors, thanks for any help! I lost the previous chat that somone was helping me with this.

I have two all white babies that are starting to show black on their tails. I can not for the life of me remember what this is called.

I also have a few orange babies but I don’t k ow the difference between orang, cream, and fawn.

That looks like as good as you can do without more information. The possibility of sable magpie is usually there, since sable <c(chl)> is recessive to chinchilla <c(chd)>. I can see why you might think Cloud is a sable magpie, given her darker nose, but I don't see similar shading on her ears, and that darkening could also be due to the effects of the harlequin allele and just having more black hairs congregated there than on other areas with markings. I think I'd have to gather more information before making a final call. Since magpies can be either chinchilla- based or sable-based, I think you're safe calling her "magpie" without any qualifier, unless you know something about her parents that would lead you to strongly suspect sable.

White babies with dark eyes and dark on their tails could be sable points or ermines aka frosties. White kits with pink eyes and darkening tails would be himalayan, known as "pointed white" in French, English, Mini and Holland Lops.

Orange, cream and fawn can mean different things in different breeds. In French Lops (and English and Mini Lops), orange is a "bright orange" and fawn is "a rich golden color." Both have white undercolor and white on the belly, inner ears, jowls, and undertail. My impression is that they are both genetically orange <A_??C_D_ee>, fawn being a lower-rufus color than orange. Cream is described in the lop color standard as "creamy beige," which suggests to me a dilute orange <A_??C_ddee>.

From those three photos of yours I think you could call them either orange or fawn; I'd lean toward the latter just because the are not really "bright" orange. There are some reference photos from a breeder of Mini Lops on this page (no cream, but it does show orange, fawn and red:
