Color question

[whaleyk98]

How do you tell the difference between sable and black?

 

[Shaded Night Rabbitry]

Do you mean seal and black?

'Cause sable is VERY recognizable. =D

 

[whaleyk98]

Yes, I meant seal :foreheadsmack:

I looked it up and this is what I found

"To determine black or seal color on the adult rabbit check the color on the bottom of the feet. The true black will have a grayish color there while the true seal will be a chocolaty brown color." -Dutchworksrabbitry

A seal must show some shading - I look for lighter shading on the belly.

My buck is black but he has a redish tint in the sunlight??

He is probably a little faded.

Yeah, he could be "sunburnt" or something. Sometimes my blacks get that way too.
