        In the UK, I had a lop eared bunny, her name was Snowbell! I know she was fairly large…maybe 6-7 pounds, and she was a little white fluffball as a baby. She looked like a Snowball, but at the age I was (8) I thought Snowball was a boys name, therefore her name was Snowbell! But anyway, as she aged, her ears got sort of grey, and around her nose too. She got grey flecks through her fur around her back/bum area, and then progressed to get flecks of ginger and brown too! I’ve never heard or seen a bunny poses such a strange colour since! Does it have a proper name, or can anyone say they’ve seen this colour before?

        P.S I could post a picture, but I don’t have it right here on my ipad, it’s in a frame on my wall, so it would be particularly clear!

            I think what you’ve described is called Frosted Pearl colouration. Sometimes just called called Frosty.
            The colour of the frosting can vary: you can get blue frosted pearls, lilac, chocolate… not sure what else. It’s really pretty.
            I’m not certain what technical colour would give the 3 colours you saw in her coat.

            Here’s some examples of Frostys:

              AWWWW frosty lop looks so cute!! I’ve seen some mini lops with the colour “seal point” maybe it was a frosty point with some orange because of her parents?

              Very very light points https://www.google.co.uk/search?q=frosty+point+mini+lop&um=1&ie=UTF-8&hl=en&tbm=isch&source=og&sa=N&tab=wi&ei=QLz6UOGUEcep0AWC4IDYDA&biw=1163&bih=617&sei=Qbz6UOv_N8qU0QWt7YDgDA
