So what color would you call him and what do you call his purple eyes?? These are a few pics of him and his brother since they looked exactly the same the only difference was Cotton was a wee tad bigger than Olly but you had to be paying attention to notice it

The colour is called Red Eyed White (REW for short) and it is a form of albinism which is why the eyes are pinkish

It is 1 of 3 unique colours (the other 2 are himilayan/pointed white and Blue Eyed White) that hides a rabbits true genetic colour under white fur instead of blending or modifying it.

Normally REW are genetically chestnut, gold tipped steel or black but they could be any colour :)
 
REW albinos lack all pigment and the eyes are pinkish because that is the colour of blood flowing through capillaries, they might look purple from other tissues tinting the blood.
