What colour is (s)he?

[RustyPocket]

Hello eveybunny. Two of our does kindeled about 10 days ago and it was quite a surprise for me to find out one of the babies in the younger litter (they are about 12 hours apart) is fawn. The doe, Kreja, is a chestnut (from broken chestnut dad and chinchilla mum) and the buck is chestnut as well. Kreja is Fawns sister, and therefore she carries the "e" gene. But what I am hve troubles with is determaining if the new baby is even fawn. I mean, it looks fawn to me, but has some few differences from Fawn when she was a baby. Could it be the different base colour (black/choc/blue) or is it completely other colour? So, here's few pictures of the fawn baby, and the last one is of Fawn when she was a baby:






The colour seems a bit pastel, I mean, it's not as vibrant as Fawn was. Also, it's lower back and bottom seems to have some darker tone (almost blueish) to it. Here's Fawn pic for a comaprison:

I'd say she is a black based fawn

I would expect a blue fawn to be much more smokey coloured and a chocolate to be, well, chocolately

There are many modifier areas on the DNA that effect the shades and tones off rabbits fur colour and this kit likely just got less Rufus factors and more smut (creating the darker areas around the hind legs) than your kit Fawn

I'd second fawn. To dark for a cream and too light for an orange. The fawn color varies a lot because of rufus, and other, modifiers.

Chocolate based orange, I'm told, is usually a brighter, clearer colour, not as red as a black based fawn. I'm not entirely sure, myself, but I do have a broken chocolate fawn holland not-lop.
