Her name is turkey, I’ve had her for almost a year now and I have no idea what color she is. I know she’s a harlequin but that’s it. Like what colors is the harlequin made up of.

Magpie is the colour, harlequin is the breed not the colour. It gets confusing as there is harlequin colour in rabbits ( orange and black , or fawn and blue , sometimes even lilac ) aka Japanese harlequin. Darker colours and white in the same markings becomes magpie or aka magpie harlequin.
Harlequin colour is technically one half of face orange / one half black – split straight down the middle and also have very defined tiger stripes over the back.
Magpie is technically one half of face is white / one half a shade of grey to black ( varies in shade) split down middle of face and with defined tiger appearance stripes on back.
However the half face and defined stripes is just the strived for – often the face is not half half and the stripes are not as defined.
Lots of breeds have harlequin colouring and magpie colouring – harlequin breed as well as holland lops/ mini lops and more
Confusingly there is also Harlequin breed.
So Turkey is magpie harlequin coloured. I cannot tell from the photos as I’m no expert on the harlequin breed but if you are sure on breed then turkey is a magpie harlequin coloured harlequin
