Someone suggested maybe Gracie has a tortoise pattern. What do you think? To be honest, I have no knowledge of cat breeds or patterns for the most part.

Maybe a tortoise??

A tricolor kitty is considered Calico - Calicos have anywhere from 25 to 75 percent white
Do you have a frontal photo of your Gracie,perhaps standing or sitting?
This is Bella- typical tortoise coat
See the mottled pattern? Looks blotchy- no stripe pattern
Gracie's bicolor area appears to show a stripe pattern in the top photo,the 2nd photo looks quite different so it's hard to see- still she is tricolored with 25% white

Had to grab one I had posted earlier as I don't typically keep photos I take of the cats after posting on here.

That's what I think too.
i've heard people call them a tortico when they are kinda both. your little one doesn't have the well defined patches of red/black with white that defines a calico, so I would go with tortoiseshell with white.
Ah that's better- gee she's pretty- she looks very tabby with white here- more like the first photo and not so tricolor
It's that 2nd photo that throws us off,isn't it - where she appears reddish like a tortie
Pretty little girly girl
I would say tortoiseshell tabby and white, also called a torbie and white, like one of my cats, Nessie.

are those areas red and certain lighting makes them look more like brown in photos, which I have noticed when taking photos of my torbies. Or are those areas actually brown and certain lighting is making them look more red in certain photos. The tint is also slightly differs when looking at the photos on my phone vs on my pc, which farther confuses things as to which it is in real life.

mentioned......Hey,this is a great way to ask for MORE photos! Lol
Orange fur is technically called "red", like red hair for human.
Unless you look like this:Orange fur is technically called "red", like red hair for human.
Lol. My Cheech ( rip)
The hint here is, she seems to have an orange spot on the head - torties have very often such a spot there. Very revealing... That is why I decided she is prob a tortie after all.Ah,so msybe she is a torbie with white like

Another hint could be, if the eyes are green... I dont think there is any real connection, yet green eyes are more common with torties than with a random cat.
This cat has no green eyes.
True,I noticed that orange spot on her adorable little head in the last photo - that's actually what lead me to believe your description was probably more accurate
