thank you for your help! Her color has faded a tiny bit but had not changed. I have had her since she was 6 so it is possible it did when she was a kitten. And yes it is a very muted cream orange. Is pointed a breed?Yes, calico, or maybe tortoiseshell and white. Some people like to differentiate (calicos have large blocks of color, torties are more mottled) but others don't bother. I see orange on her face and paw; it is a bit muted but still genetically counts as red/orange.
If her eyes are blue it's likely she's pointed. Has her color/pattern changed a lot over the years?

No, it's a pattern.Is pointed a breed?
Thanks to your help I officially found out what I am 99% sure she is- a chocolate tortoise shell!No, it's a pattern.
Most cats don't have any breed background at all; they aren't like dogs. We call them "domestic shorthairs" (or longhairs, as applicable).
