What is her colour called?

I have just got Sammy a new friend, a gorgeous baby lop. She is a seal point, her main body colour is a caramel type colour, more apricot than brown. What is the correct name for this colour (must get photos up, she is beautiful!)?

If the rabbit still has it's baby coat, it might look lighter than it will when it's in adult coat. The lilac and blue tort rabbits will have a more fawn coloured coat with the shadings. The black and chocolate tort rabbits will have a more orange coloured rabbit with the shadings.

Hmmm, I think she looks most like the top one but she doesn't have the sooty undertones in her coat.:? Would be a lot easier if I got a photo up eh?! Sorry!
 
Looking at the colour on the nose, I'm almost positive she is a black tort (tortoiseshell). The shadings are likely to get darker the older she gets.

If you look at my siggi, I've also got a black tort :) Although he has more shading.
