This is my new kitten. I’m wondering what color coat/breed she may be as I’m having trouble finding similar coats online. She’s predominantly grey, with what seems like some brown? Either way, she’s everything and I’d die for her haha.

She's gorgeous, is she longhair or shorthair? If she's longhair she might be a Ragdoll or a Birman

Thank you! I’m not too sure if she’s long or short-haired. These are the most recent pics of her, and she’s 6w old. She seems a little fluffy, so I’m leaning more towards long but honestly this is my first cat since 2006, I don’t know much of anything.

I can rule out one breed I was thinking, cause her face doesn't look pointy enough: siamese

6 weeks? At 6 weeks old she should really still be with her mum for another 2 weeks

99% chance she's just a domestic shorthair or longhair if you found her at only 6 weeks old. As for colour, maybe some kind of tortie point? I'm not really seeing red in her but the pattern lines up and I've seen tortie point kittens who looked almost free of red until they were adults.

Looks like a tortie point to me. Hopefully this helped
In unsure cases, its easier to determine via the tail. bushy tail = longhair / semilonghair, non bushy = shorthair...
Re coloring: As somebody said, Tortie point... That is why she has these whitish streaks here and there... Coloring is black "Seal".
BUT. Eyes should be blue, both because she is a point and because she is a baby yet... And her eyes arent clearly blue.
Also, she is well darkish too early...
So I think she is a combo of the siamese point gene and the burmese gene... Not common, but not totally unique once you know this combo exists...
This explains both she is darkish already as young kitten, and also, her eyes arent no good blue...
Breed is almost surely domestic.

I understand why breeders wait until 16 weeks, but I also support rescues and shelters letting them go at 8/10/12 as long as they're neutered/spayed and have a littermate or other same age kitten to go with, just because of how many domestic kittens they get filled with every year from feral cats and irresponsibly kept pet cats.

An update! She’s definitely a tortie point, or tortimese. This is for people who have similar coat cats and are curious.
Her little feet are becoming red, and her eyes are becoming more grey but I have a feeling that’ll change once she’s an adult.

Very, very likely. When mine was that age, her eyes were a beautiful light grey - almost exactly like yours is, they are now hazel. Sometimes yellow, sometimes green depending on the lighting and her mood.
