I agree, put as much information on the pedigree as possible, with the caveat that if you're not completely sure, indicate that as well.  For example, in the case of a charlie with very little color to go on: tricolor (chocolate or lilac).


One more caveat: if it is a pedigree to be submitted for registration of the animal, don't put question marks in the variety.  Use your best guess, based on your observation of the animal and its ancestry, but you need to pick one variety.  In the example above, that would be "tricolor."  On a pedigree you hand to a buyer, though, it's courteous to include as much information as possible.


I agree with [USER=8794]@judymac[/USER] that on my screen the spots on your bunny look closer to chocolate, and the eye spots are in shadow so I can't make out what color they are.  The orange seems too deep to me to be a dilute.


I found with the Mini Rex that the colors did deepen as they grew in their adult coat.  When they're itty bitties they were sometimes heavy on the underfur relative to guard hairs, so the woolly undercoat showed more on 3-week-olds than it did on older kits and adults.  I noticed it most dramatically on castors, but that might be a factor here.  It would be cool to see a time series of this bunny's development.
