What's her coloring called? I know she's just a domestic short hair, but her markings interest me! Mom is just grey, dad is orange tabby with white markings

Torbie. Short for tortie/tabby 
. Some people call them patched tabbies too. She's so cute!

Oh yay! So I have a (diluted?) torbi and a calico? Or is my other a torti and white? Lol. The other's orange spots have tabby markings too. Her back markings are mostly the black with some brindling.
I dont think yours is diluted, The black parts are really black, they arent dark blue. And the red parts not very red, but a shade more than creme. Also, really not torbie. Because all reds / ginger do carry tabby markings, so it would be no sport. So usually we pretend we dont see the tabby on the red parts. Perhaps with the exception its some unusual type, alike spotted or classic.
It is if the tabby is on the dark parts, so we count them as torbie.
I think I would call yours for a calico.
Edit. Its first now I realize the description here is really two different cats AND the same poster as TS.. That gray torbie and the calico... Still, my comments stay in essence, so Im not changing them.
Very sweet young cat!

In person Mysti just looks like a grey tabby lol. I think the flash is upping the contrast.
No, I wouldn't say the torbie is dilute. She looks like a regular torbie to me. My mom has a torbie like that. . .you can barely see the red spots most of the time but they're there. The other kitty I would call a calico. She's adorable! I love calicos.
