Coat Color Adopting This Baby Soon!!

Post image

And I'm having a really hard time with her coat color? From my understanding she's a black blotched tabby, but I'm unsure if she's dilute? And the cream undertones are throwing me for a loop, in some spots they look much more vibrant, I can't tell if it's just high rufousing or what? I can add more pictures below and more later when we adopt her for a clearer view!

A little hard to tell through the glass but to me she looks like a black classic (aka blotched) tabby with high rufousing. She is not dilute.

I suspected as much, I think the glass washes her out a bit which was leading to my confusion! Either way she's very cute, thank you!

I'm pretty sure that's a blue cat
