Mini lop question

Is a wide band consitered solid or broken?
I thought my doe was solid colored but when she threw kits with white bellies, I turned her over and her belly is white too.

I'm not familiar with Mini Lops, but I believe wideband is considered a solid color in that breed. It definitely would not be broken, because broken-patterned animals are white with spots (think "pinto").

As with all lops, wide band can be either solid or broken, depending on how the color is distributed.

Lops are shown in 2 classes, solid and broken. I am not really familiar with lop colors, but I want to say cream is a wide band lop color. You can have a solid cream or a broken cream. The solid would show against all other solids, and the broken against all other brokens.

This is a reason that lops make for good color experimentation. Even to show you don't need to know the color. I've seen one judge who will DQ a lop on color, simply because lops are one of the most varied(if not the most) breeds out there. You see things such as shaded agouti that aren't accepted anywhere else.
