REW NZ X Broken Blk NZ = What color is this thing?

[GypsyG]

I have a rabbit that is the result of a cross between a REW NZ and a Broken Black NZ... At first I thought she was a Chestnut agouti, but she has a blue grey belly instead of tan, and dark ear lining. What is this coloration called? What genes could the the REW be carrying that would result in that color when crossed with a broken blk who had nothing but but black in it's seven generation pedigree?

Sounds like a steel, which is a dominate gene but can be hidden in a REW. Pictures are more helpful.

I can't figure out how to to get pics to load in my post, but she is on my profile pic. I don't think she's a steel, she looks Chestnut except for the dark belly, legs and ear lining.

She's 100% NZ, just an odd color because I used a REW buck on a broken black doe.

We are just starting out with rabbits, have three does one buck, waiting for them to mature so we can breed.., i have no clue what a REW is...been busy with breeding the goats, chickens and learning begins now with the rabbits

Looks like a Gold Tipped Steel to me. Some are darker and some more golden than others. Steel is a very weird gene.

REW = Red Eye White (or some say Ruby Eye White)
