New Rex baby (What color?)

[itoshiixhito]

Her name's Ryuu. I'm not sure what color she is :?

Would it be black? Because I though blacks had brown eyes.

But on the other hand, I read blues have the blue-grey eyes.

And would she be considered "broken", since she has a white smudge on her nose, upper/lower lips, and front right toes?

That is known as a Marked Vienna, in particular it is the combination of a blue eyed white and another vienna carrier.

It's a very beautiful color, but not showable.

Yes, her color is black. The reason she has blue eyes and a white spot on her nose is because she carries the vienna gene, which is what creates Blue-Eyed White (BEW) rabbits. When a BEW is bred to a normal colored rabbit, they produce rabbits like yours, called Vienna Marks (VM's) because they are a normal color (black, for instance) but the vienna causes blue eyes and random white markings.

VM's are not showable, but can be very useful in BEW breedings projects. For example, if a VM is bred to a BEW, they will produce BEW kits.

Edit: Also, she is not considered broken. A VM is considered solid color, since the vienna is what causes those marks.
