The Frosty (Frosted Pearl) is an Agouti, Non-Extension Rabbit that is also either Chinchilla "Cchd" or Shaded "Cchl".  It may be black, blue, choclate, lilac or sable tinted and have  brown, or blue-gray eyes.  Faint ring color may be noted. The ARBA breed that currently accepts "Frosty" is the Holland Lop. "Frosted Pearls" are a showable variety in the French, English and Mini Lop breeds (black, blue, chocolate, lilac).. The "Frosty" geneotypes are also accepted in the Angora standards as "Pearls" as long as they are not so light as to appear pure white on the body wool (DQ).  The sable point genotype in any marking color also fits under the "Pearl" Angora color description.

French Angora This frosty angora (brown eyes) was disqualified from the Colored class for pure-white body wool.   Also watch for Frosty genotype Angoras entered in the White class.  Brown eyes would be a disqualification, however a dilute Frosty could pass as a BEW due to the allowable "medium blue" eye.
