Broken black! What a cutie. How old is she? Looks like my 4 week old kits!
 
Yeah, that makes sense, since mine are big 'ol angoras. Welcome to the forums!
 
The broken is diluting the edges of the spots a little. You can tell the center of the larger spots is definitely black not blue.
 
I thought blue as well, until I saw the black center on the nose. Then I thought it must be called black, but that's my guessing since I'm new to colors. If I'm right, yay!
 
Thank you all... :) I know she looked blue to me too... but there are so many 'color names' I wasnt for sure what it was called. :) I cant wait to get more now....lol. ( And Thank you for the "Welcome" as well)

Okay, since I am confused on the first one...lol... might as well go all out. What color is this one? I got him from the same guy I got my female from... he lost the parents to the heat and had to place this one and the litter mates, so I bought all of them. They are eating good on their own and everything... THANKFULLY. The litter mates are REW's, but not sure on this one.

Look at the nose marking. It's black in the middle. You can't get that dark with a blue.

I debated tort but the dark markings just don"t seem right or enough of them. It doesn't match our torts

but I have a ton of sooty reds running about that are somewhere between a chestnut, which also has that side swirl of dark, and a red in color while I know they are too red for chestnuts.
 
Are you sure the doe isn't a broken smoke pearl? That would account for the darker spot on the nose...I don't know...just my 2 cents! :)
