Depends on what's in their pedigrees
For starters, you can expect that roughly half the litter will be brokens and half will be solids, but the number can vary.
You may get some tricolors, since a tricolor is a broken harlequin.
Tort is a self color, and harlequin is usually agouti, so you may see chestnuts and/or harlequinized chestnuts.
Your doe being a tort means she is a non-extension color, so the harlequin from your buck will dominate - so probably plenty of harlequins.
If your buck carries a non-extension gene, you may get non-extension colors like red/orange, and even torts if he also carries a self gene.
I love the tort color in Hollands! My daughter's buck Drizzle is a broken tort:
you might well get torted harlequins. Tort x harlequin isn't the best combination of colours if breeding for show/pedigrees. BUT if just breeding for fun/pet homes or other purposes, it all works.
There is an app in the google play store that allows you to browse a database of pictures. You choose the ones that look like your rabbits, and cross them in the app. It will gove you all the genotype possibilites between the cross. I forget the name of the app, and stopped using it because I really do not need it anymore. I was able to identify my rabbit's genotypes and predicted almost woth 100% accuracy the resulting colors from the breeding.
I play a game online that is a rabbit breeding game. You could buy rabbits with the genotype matching yours, and breed them in the game. You will get a representation of the genotypes and phenotypes that are possible. The browser game is called Leporidae.
