Peaches unusual orange colour

[Coralcup]

This is my boy peaches a long haired curly Selkirk rex I bred myself
His colour is unusual
What do you think
Is he pale orange or fawn

It's hard to tell. From the pictures, my vote would be on cream (dilute red), but fawn or a light red are also possible. What colours were his parents? That might shed some light on his likely genetics.

Mum passed away but she was a calico dad I still have a blue

His sister millie is cream. Totally different colour

Millie is too cute! She looks to me like a dilute torti, which would make sense from a calico mother X blue father. I'd say that with a calico mother and a blue father, Peaches is most likely to be a light orange. He could be fawn, though, if both parents carried the cinnamon gene. I don't have personal experience with this breed, but if there are other Selkirk rex breeders on this forum, they might be able to give you a more definitive answer.

I couldn't say the exact color but it is unique and he is a very handsome gentleman.

I am wondering if he would be considered a dilute pointed cat. He is definitely a long haired boy!
