What color is this?

Yeah he looks like a blue based caramel tabby to me, anyway!

but I don't know if you accept them over there???

Don't be sorry

I saw a gorgeous lilac (lavender) exotic at a show yesterday and she was a complete different colour then that cat but very correct!

but he has a lilac point daddy!! I've seen him in person many times and he's similar to the OP cat

I have a pic of a lilac tabby Brit on my computer, I'll try to attach it here..
It looks like it's taken with flash, so it's a bit too warm (or it's just my monitor making it look too warm to me..).

If it helps any, the photos I posted were taken by a professional pet photographer.

If he winds up to be a blue classic tabby, he's the oddest shade of blue that I've seen.

A friend of mine has a calico male kitten and we are still debating whether he is a blue cream or a lavender cream - he doesn't have a lot of color on him and that's what makes it so difficult. The blue is so light that it looks lavender. DNA testing says "blue" and not "chocolate" - so that would mean a blue cream.

She also has both torties and chocolate torties and some are questionable as to what the color is - when put with either a normal tortie or a chocolate bicolor, the color on the cat could go either way.
