Aww what a cutie!

Yes, the kitty is pointed, the same kind of point that some Ragdolls come in. . .Bicolor, I think it's called. That means both parents are carrying the pointed gene.

I would say chocolate point but 2 dilutes can't make a non-dilute so maybe lilac, but it looks darker to me. Is he the only possibility for paternity? Any chance she got with another male?

Your kitten looks a lot like mine at that age. He did grow up to be much darker. It will be a fun adventure to find out what kitty looks like later on!! His paws are huge!!

Looks like a Blue point with White to me. For point cats, body coloring does happen, and it's often a diffent kind of color than the actual point it self. I don't know why, but it happens. Best for point cats is to look at the tail/paws/face/ears and determine the color like that. Looking at his ears and tail, he's a blue point and as his paws aren't darkened, he is having quite some white hidden underneath the point.
