There is no "best colour" but there are a few you should avoid so you dont get un-showable colours -don't breed to agouti based rabbits (chestnut, amber, opal, lynx, red or tri-colours and himi or REW that are agouti based)

However, the first priority should be to improve body type and fur quality and colour third.

When I was reading from this site http://www.angelfire.com/mi4/bunnyrun/COLOR.html

It said to breed them to a REW, Himilayan, Siamese Smoke Pearl, Smoke Pearl Marten and broken. Would it be okay to mate it to another Siamese Sable?
 
Broken is not a colour, it is white being added to a colour so dont breed to a broken chestnut ;)

It depends on what colour you want. If you like seals, siamese sables and REW or Himilayans, then yes.

Thanks, I guess I will see if I can find a Siamese Smoke Pearl or Smoke Pearl Marten buck to use on my does once they are old enough.
 
No matter what of the preferable colors you breed to you will get 50% sable. If you breed to a seal you'll get 50% seal, 50% sable. If you breed to a himi or rew you'll get 50% sable, 50% himi or rew. If you breed to a sable you'll get 50% sable, 25% himi or rew, and 25% seal. Smoke pearl is just a blue sable so stick a potential for blue on all those colors but the odds are the same.
 
Would a blue otter buck be a good buck to add in? I am trying to find one that I can cross with the Siamese Sable does without getting bad coloring or seals.
 
You may not get any seals, sables, rew, or himi if you use a full color like an otter or you might just get all marten colors instead. There' s also a chance you might get blue otters and there's a chance you'll get black self or blue self but the only guaranteed color is black otters.
