If a new born rabbit is a light silvery grey, what colour could that be?

I'm guessing blue because the other rabbits in the litter are black. The mom is tort and the dad is black. :)

Here's one of the grey babies. They've gotten a lot darker since they were born (they were born with some fur), they're a week old now. I'm thinking blue, because I looked at some lilac rabbits but they were much lighter.

Also the last litter the parents had were all black rabbits, and no browns, and I think lilac is the dilute form of brown is it? And this litter had 3 blacks and these two grey ones, so I thought blue.

Or are they too dark?
 
Looks blue to me. It could never be too dark to be a blue unless it was black.

And yes Blue is a dilute of black and lilac is a dilute of chocolate
 
Usually hen I get ones that look silvery at birth they come out to be shaded, like siamese sable. But I guess you'll just have to wait and see to know for sure. That could be a blue too though. If you have the parents' pedigrees and they have blue somewhere in there then it could be very possible!
