Blue holland kits are dark blue over their entire bodies. Shown left to right: Orange,
Siamese Sable, Broken Opal, Blue, and Black Tort kits at 9 days old. The Siamese Sable and Blue look
identical at first, but then the SS gets a shimmery cast to its coat. The Broken Opal looks
much like a Broken Blue at a few days old, but then the inside of the ears get a brownish cast to
them. |

| REW, ?? ?? cc ?? ?? |
Two day old REW's. Kits are pink at birth. These are English Angora kits, but Hollands
look the same at birth color wise.
|
As they get older, their white wool comes in and their eyes open to reveal
their ruby-red-pink eyes. These are EA kits, but coloring applies to the Hollands also.

| Siamese Sable, aaB_c(chl)_D_E_ |
These can be tricky! Shown left to right: Orange,
Siamese Sable, Broken Opal, Blue, and Black Tort kits at 9 days old. The Siamese Sable and Blue look
identical at first, but then the SS gets a shimmery cast to its coat (note the shimmery cast
on the kit in this pix). Then it develops white ticking
almost on the ends of its hair. It goes through several color changes before looking like a
Siamese Sable. |

| The top side of the Agouti body is banded and ticked. Banding means there is a ring
pattern of different colors on each hair shaft. Ticked means that the color of the tip of each
hair is different than the overall body color. Their ears are laced with the same color as the ticking.
The eye circles, inside of the ears, and the nape of the neck is either white or tan. The underside
of the tail, belly, nostrils and underside of the jowls are tan or white. |

| The basic genotype for Fawn, Orange and Red Hollands are all the same. Rufus Modifiers are what
differentiate them from each other. The Fawns have fewer rufus modifiers then the Orange, and the Orange have
fewer then the Red. The '+' indicates rufus modifiers. Red's DO have the wide band gene (ww). |

Harlequin's are NOT showable. Tri-Colors are shown as Brokens, but I put them here
since they are sort of unique. Their solid harli counterpart is shown to help better identify the color.
