Question
What are all the colors a rabbit can be?

Answer
Well, there are literally hundreds of colours a rabbit can be. Not all of them are showable in ANY breed in the USA though. I doubt I can list every single possible colour, but I will list as many as I can think of. I will list them by colour group. Describing the colour of each one is very difficult without infringing copywrite. It is best to look up the colours online to view pictures or to purchase an American Rabbit Breeders Association Standard Of Perfection (SOP). The SOP lists and describes all showable colours in each breed.

Colours marked with an * are not showable in the USA in any breed. Some of the colours may be showable in other countries.

OTHER
Pointed White (AKA himalayan or californian) - Generally a white body with black, blue, chocolate, or lilac points (nose, ears, feet, legs, and tail are the coloured "points). However, they can have various other coloured points as well.

Japanese Harlequin (black, blue, chocolate, or lilac bands with golden bands. It can also have tortoise bands, but this is not showable.)

Magpie Harlequin (black, blue, chocolate, lilac, sable*, smoke pearl*, chocolate sable*, lilac smoke pearl*, seal*, blue seal*, lilac seal* bands with bands of white.)

Tricolour: White rabbit with black, blue, chocolate, or lilac spots AND red, orange, or fawn spots. Can sometimes have tortoise spots instead of the red, orange, or fawn, but this is not showable.

Lutino: A very newly discovered colour mutation that makes red, fawn, cream, and orange rabbits have red eyes. Normally only ruby eyed whites (albinos) and pointed whites have red eyes.

Broken: Any colour with white spots

As you can see, with all the combinations (like silver and broken being able to be on any colour), there are many different colours rabbits can come in. There are some more gene combinations that I can think of, but they are so uncommon that there is not even a name for them, so I did not list them.
