Hi! So this is one of two foster kitties that I am fostering and her coat is just so intriguing to me. I'll let the pictures do the talking:

It doesn't show all that well in the picture but the front of her face looks like a really pale pink or peach colour. She also has little flecks of ginger on her coat, mostly on the inside so its not all that visible. Can someone describe her coat colour please?

Update!
Said foster kitten stayed with me and I am still trying to figure out/confirm her colour.
I think she is a blue (creme) tortie tabby. She ended up developing a lot more creme than I thought she initially had and she looks brilliant in the sun. But I was also wondering if she has any silver in her? The inside of her fur is a lot lighter than the outside and her tail too. I'll post the pictures below. Either way she is beautiful to me and we love her to bits. Just interested to know:)))

Yes I agree, there is more than the hitherto said. Silver? Smoke? Im not skilled enough to put my finger on it.
But longhaired torbies are often difficult to analyse. This is in fact a give away: a longhair cat difficult to analyse and label; is often a torbie... :)

Thank you for your opinion😊 Agree that cat genetics are complicated yet so interesting at the same time!🤩

She's 6 months now and I am thinking she has to reach at least 1+ years for her fur to properly grow and I'll be able to get a better idea😻

She is a beauty 😻. I think she is a dilute torbie / tortie, the face pattern with the blaze is a giveaway. Smoke I am not sure about, there are smoke torties, nfc have some and others I am sure.
