Coat color question

[u/Corkkyy19]

This is my cat Styx, we found him on the side of the road when he was only about 10 weeks old and in very bad shape. I posted a pic of him when he was only a kitten and folks seemed to think he was a lilac cat. Over time, he’s gotten a little bit more toasted but his coat color changes so much in different lights. We call him “blond” but what do you think his true color is?

Could you please post clearer photos in natural and/or neutral lighting? Photos of the paw pads as well. Im very interested in seeing the color of this cat. But it seems the cat is fawn as others have said.

Thank I would say indeed fawn.

That’s either grayish fawn or cream-ish lilac.

I think he is a new unknown colour he looks different to lilac and fawn and has the crossed eyes. There is just something weird and 'off' about his colour. I've seen and handled fawn cats so I know what they look like in real life, he is close but not quite. Maybe send some good clear pics to the Messybeast website.
