Black - Seal
Seal is usually a more rare color and a hard one to identify
especially for those who are just getting started. The best
way to distinguish between them is to look at the belly and feet,
since belly color is lighter than the rest of the body. You'll see
a brown color on the belly and feet on a true seal, the black
rabbit has gray-black on the belly and feet. (brown
color not to be confused with hutch stain or sunburn).
True seals are off the chinchilla line, they are a non agouti chin.

Blue - Lilac
Blue is to be a deep intense color, however a blue with
poor color can often be mistaken for a lilac. Lilacs are
more of a silvery-blue color and often have a slight pinkish overtone,
may have a ruby cast to the eye, and are off the chocolate
line. Blues are dilute black, lilacs are dilute chocolate.
