I purchased this (pedigreed) buck lionhead a few weeks ago, and was told he's "chestnut". is that an official color? I'm looking into showing him, and want to make sure i can do so.

Definitely not chestnut... he's a tortoise shell (tort) , maybe blue tortoise shell. As for showing I am not familiar with the approved varieties of this breed. The bunny in the middle of my photo is a chestnut though a rex coat.

Fawn is not showable, Tort is. What color is the underside of his tail? If it's white, he's a Fawn, if it's colored, he's a Tort.

Just for funsies, this is a picture of the rabbit that won the breed nationals this year - a Tort.

There are two colors that you can show with Lionheads, REW and Tort. They're working on approving more colors, but those are the only two for now. Your baby is super cute!
