What's the dilute version of amber called? Is it like blue amber or something? Does it look cream or something else?

Also amber tortoiseshell must have different shades of orange? Or just one shade?

I wonder If kopal, russet, and phoenix can be tortie too?

I'm afraid the most accepted name for it is just "light amber". (I've also seen it being called "blue amber", usually contrasted to "brown amber".) It looks like this:

Tabby and solid light amber from the Chênes d'Or cattery

Adult amber torties... well, i've never had one in my hands, but on pictures i can't really differentiate between their colors (except of course on the nose of the solids). This is an amber tortie tabby:

I'm sure copals and russets can be torties as well, but i have to admit, i've never seen one. Phoenix on the other had, it's an exciting question, because several of the female phoenixes i've seen are brindled phoenix and red, like a tortie (phoenix taking the place of black), and I've been told black-phoenix torties also exist.

Hey amber-tortoiseshell. I bring you a silver amber kitten that’s probably tortieshell and blue aswell, from Bongo Norvég Erdei Macska Tenyészet. Not as a late nomination but just for curiosity’s sake.

I say probably because I didn’t catch if the mother (not on exhibit) was silver red or silver tortieshell and I can’t open their site on my phone to check. Kitten got called light amber so I guess it’s also blue like her father unless «light amber/világos borostyán» is also used for silver ambers. I’m not super confident in ID-ing kitten ambers from appearance alone.

I wouldn’t have neccesearly assumed blue from the pawpads and half of the nose but what do I know man

Dad is blue amber. He’s called Rasputin

Oh yeah, Bongo, the Third Hungarian NFO Cattery. I follow them on facebook. Beautiful amber tortie, thank you!
