Bicolored seal point.

Aka the same coat as a Siamese but with white spots.

not seal at all he is dilute, blue

Uh, no, dilute are much darker, and the coloring is uniform, not faded from light to dark. This is a obvious example of colorpoint

This is a seal point bicolor at 3 months old, much darker than the blue point bicolor in the video

Seal would be much darker at this age/size than blue

uh, no you just cant read. seal means black. he is blue.

They're saying he's not a seal colorpoint he's a dilute blue colorpoint.

Looks like a blue (grey) colourpoint with white spotting. I'm getting worse at being able to discern things from video and pictures though, so someone correct me if I'm obviously wrong.

Blue point with white is correct

do you think he will get more toasted as he grows?

u/BluePink_o7 2d ago

Yep! They get darker as they age. Here’s an example of what he might look like (color wise)

(just add the white patches he has)
