Is this normal for a tricolor mini Rex?

[Rabbitlover1]

I have a tricolor mini Rex who isn’t like what I’ve seen before. Instead of having tan she has chocolate. I don’t know how it happened exactly. Her father was a broken black and her mother tricolor. Her father had a black otter mother and a tricolor father. I don’t know if that makes a difference but I’ve never seen a tricolor like her before. The mother has the tan, but she doesn’t. If someone can explain this I would be so greatful!

Maybe a harlequinized broken amber/chocolate agouti? That's the only thing I can think of that would make the red, chocolate colored.

Pics would be helpful.

This is an example of a harlequinized castor/agouti. Amber will look similar to red with chocolate dots instead of black.

Can you post a picture?

There are several possibities

I’ll try to get some pictures, but she’s a little flighty so we’ll see if I can get any good pictures. An idea was brought up to me by my father, who is much more experienced then I am, that maybe she is a normal tricolor but the black and the orange are mixing together making it look like chocolate. I can see some orange on her, but she has so much black that it could be a possibility that it’s just blending together
