What "actual" color is my New Zealand?

[BunnyGirl]

:?: I just call her gray, but I know that there are more descriptive names like "steel" and "blue". So I was wondering if she is something other then "gray".
You cant really see in any of the pictures but she has a white belly
Thanks!

Looks to be a chinchilla like 'skysthelimit' said, I have 2 chinchilla New Zealand does they are beautiful, congrats

I agree. Chinchilla.

Bunnygirl, chinchilla is a color pattern. It means each individual hair is striped black and white (like a candy cane), giving a gray effect. But she still looks blue to me in these pictures. Maybe it's just the camera, or she might be a blue chinchilla, meaning her stripes are bluish-gray and white, instead of black and white.

The stripes on the individual hairs will produce rings if you blow into the fur.

She does look like a chinchilla. I have a chinchilla-patterned mutt doe:

Here is a baby chinchilla:

Here is a baby broken cinchilla:

I agree with the Chinchilla, or in some breeds such as Flemish Giants the variety name is just 'light grey'.
Is definitely not a full bred New Zealand though, as they are only Black, red, white and broken of those varieties.

There are also blue New Zealands, but that is solid and not ticked like chinchilla.
