Can you help me determine what color my mini rex is?

Well, let's just say that I'm not an expert on rabbit coloring and genetics. I know my lionhead is a red-eyed white since I have a pedigree that says so, but my mini rex has me stumped. I know he is a broken pattern, but that's as far as I get.There are so many colors that my head starts spinning and I get confused. Heck, I'm not even that great at telling what my own hair color is!

Anyway, I'll post a couple of pictures of my William below. I'd appreciate any suggestions y'all might have.

The next picture shows the markings on his back pretty well.

I know he's cute [heh heh] but I'd like to know what color he is. It's just for my benefit, so don't go crazy...

Looks like an Opal. Opals have blue-gray eyes. Bluish undercolor when you blow into the coat. Fawn intermediate band and bluish top color (in some colors intermixed with fawn).

I was going to say opal at first but look a little bit brownish so could it be chocolate? I'm not sure if the hair would be to short in a rex to see the full color of the hair if it were an opal? So might appear chocolate? Pam what do you think?

Opals can look brownish depending on the light. I am with Pam on this one.

The fawn appears to be showing through the coat, which gives it a brownish look. It still appears opal to me
