What Color Is This Little Guy?

I am wondering what color this little Lynx Point might be.

I originally thought it was a Blue Point (I grew up with Korats) but now his tips are much darker. They're not really brown though. They very much match the grey tabby mommy's darker colors.

He's a stray that has taken to hanging out in my backyard.

Welcome Heather, and thank you for sending in your photo of your little stray - he's a real cutie!

It can be difficult to identify Siamese colors precisely from photos, especially without knowing the colors of the parents of the kitten, but you said the mom is a grey tabby and because of this I tend to agree with you - I think he is a Blue Lynx Point (more by process of eliminating the other colors than anything else) but if he continues to darken up he could turn out to be a Seal Lynx Point.

Coincidentally your question arrived on the same day as another color identification request, which you can see here - What kind of Lynx Point Siamese am I?
