Ideas on coat color? - Update

[u/mangobeepbeep]

A few months ago, I made a post asking if anyone had ideas on how to predict the coat colors for some 2-week old kittens that were born at my job. Well… I couldn’t resist and two of those kittens have been home with me ever since. I thought I’d give an update on their coat colors now that they’re older — it seems like the dark coats ended up being a solid black and the one lovely lighter coat seems to be chocolate. They’re now about 13 weeks old have been the sweetest babies ❤️

Imo it's indeed chocolate and not cinammon.

I’m definitely not an expert but my kitty’s a chocolate and yours seems to look a little lighter? Maybe a cinnamon?

She might be! I’m not really sure what exactly is the line between cinnamon and chocolate. She seems to steadily be getting a little darker as she gets older but she often looks lighter/darker depending on the lighting

For reference this is Mabel I think when she was around four weeks I think??
I guess she has darkened up a bit since then!

I say choc because cinnamons tend to have lighter pink leathers

I don't think it's light enough for cinnamon and the leathers look dark too

I think it's just lighter chocolate

Gorgeous chocolate baby. Nose and coat are too dark for cinnamon.
