The Mom is a broken black steel, gold tipped and the Dad a Chestnut Agouti.
When this one was first born it looked chocolate or chocolate agouti, but this is what it looks like now! It's more grey and white yet has hints of brown. There is chinchilla on both sides in the pedigree.

Is this a recognized color of any sort? Thank you!

I have had both Chocolate Agouti and Steel Chocolate Agouti and this one looks neither. :? The tawny coloring seems a bit much for Chinchilla, but I know some lines have quite a bit of tinge.... What color was her inner ear as a nestling?
 
Chocolate chinchilla - possibly steeled and possibly sable/light shaded based instead of chin/dark shaded

Mini lops accept a lot of colours but not sure if this one is acceptable
 
Thanks much Zinnia & Dood! I appreciate the feedback.

Zinnia, here is a photo when he was 3 days old showing the inner ear (rabbit furthest back).
