Quote: Tricolor is a specific combination of genes. Basically, it's a harlequin that is also a broken. The harlequin gene causes the dark pigment to be present in large amounts in some patches of the coat, and to be absent in other areas. Depending on other genes, the areas of dark pigment may be black, chocolate, blue or lilac, and the light areas will be orange or fawn. As you can see in this pic (not mine) there is a distinctly spotted appearance to the colored areas.



Your rabbit is a broken orange; there is usually variation in the intensity of color on an orange.
 
I have no idea who would have said that, but think about it.. Many breeds (Palomino, Sable, Thrianta, Blanc de Hotot, just to name a few) come in one specific color, or maybe two or three. How could a Thrianta be BEW, when first word that comes to mind when you think about the breed is ORANGE?

True but I was thinking most of the breeds I've raised and is raising comes in BEW except for the Vlops and Elops I think I forget I haven't raise either of them in years

I think most people would realize that those breeds that come in one color (Thrianta, Palomino) are obvious that they don't come in BEW....
 
Quote: But that's the point. Orps said, "mostly every breed;" and when you consider that something like 36 out of 48 recognized breeds don't come in BEW, does that sound like "mostly every breed" to you?

Oh, and BTW - Palomino rabbits come in 2 colors (Golden and Lynx).

Quote: Several of the very popular "pet" breeds do, so I can see that you could handle a number of breeds and feel like you run into BEW all over the place. It's kinda easy to forget about some of the less common breeds, though they make up the majority of the recognized breeds in the ARBA standard. And of course, there are always colors that some folks like to play with, even if they aren't recognized in that breed (like BEW in Lionheads, for example).
