Color question on my English Lop

[bluepez]

I feel kinda dumb for asking this, but I always just thought of my buck as a black. But when I blow on the fur you can see a soft gray under tone.

Wouldnt it be solid all the way thru if he was a true black?

His dad is a solid black, and his mom is a broken chesnut.

Thanks

Have a picture?

 

[bluepez]

www.bluepezrabbitry.com there is a picture of him there. but I will have to get a picture of it super close. will do that here soon..

He's black. It's normal for the color to be diffused in the undercoat. The standard describes the black undercolor as "slate blue".

Blacks have undercolors like Pam said. So its ok. If it had somee different rings of color then that would be a different story

Both solid blacks that i had, had that blueish undertone, the velveteen doe and the holland doe that i have. I'll try to get a picture tomorrow, if the holland will let me. she's a bit temperamental, hence why i don't show her, she's bitten a judge before for no reason other than to spite me
