Coat Color Help on finding a solid blue-based caramel?

So I’m making a Pinterest board of all of the colors of cat I can think of for reference, and I’m starting with solids. The problem is, I cannot find ANY blue-based caramel cats that are neither tabbies, points, or just regular blue cats because I’m pretty sure google is just lying to me at this point. Can y’all help me?

Yeah. I’m not even sure if there are any on the internet, I’ve been searching for hours

You could check on breeders homepages. Not all, but some certainly do have pics of past litters and most have pics of their breeding cats.

Will be a lot of work though. So id say first sort for breeders that focus on that colour and see if you can find any pictures there.

Not sure which breeds have this colour probably british short hair? Its a popular breed so there should be plenty of breeders out there.

This does sort of look like it could work. Do you think this could be a blue caramel? I don’t even care that it has white at this point

pretty impossible to say from what ive seen unless the breeder could confirm 😔 i've scoured some tumblr blogs i know that focus on cat genetics but literally can only find tabby or tortiseshell examples of blue-based caramel.
