This is a three week old doe kit from our latest litter, and I was just wondering if I could have some help with colours (again, please?).

iI've never had a tort until this lot, so I'm a bit confused. She has the typical white tummy and tail that I would expect on any 'martenised' colour, though she lacks the white in her ears, nose, and around her eyes (which are a kind of light grey/blue- the same as a Self Blue kit in the litter). So I'm a bit stuck, but hopefully someone can make a guess from the bad pictures provided! (Why can't they just keep still for photos?)

She is a martinized tort, usually called "fox" or "totter" and definitely blue ;) she doesn't look light enough to my eye to also be chocolate so I don't think she's a lilac
 
I find eye color to be one of the easiest ways to distinguish non-extension blues from lilacs. Especially if you have any blue and lilac rabbits to compare them to directly. Lilacs will have a softer shade, and often a red cast.
