I've looked everywhere on the internet trying to figure out what coloring my gorgeous domestic shorthair tabby is, but she doesn't seem to match any of the established colors/terms that breeders use to describe cats. Her fur is too golden to be brown and too silvery to be anything in the reds range. She doesn't fit lilac and fawn either because she's definitely not a dilute.
The other thing is that her back and tail pattern are pretty unique for a tabby, in that they're the inverse of what you'd expect from a standard classic tabby coloration. Instead of having golden brown base fur with black swirls and stripes, she has solid black base fur with golden brown swirls and stripes. I don't know if this complicates things further because I just don't know enough information about this subject.
Is there any existing coloration/pattern terms that describe her well enough? She doesn't fit brown or gray well enough, so I started to look outside of those and none of the other ones I found seemed to fit quite right either.
