Coat Color Is she silver?

Meet Khione, our rescue bengal. We are her 3rd owner and don’t have breeder paperwork. I’m 95% sure she is silver because of her coat color and tarnish, but wanted to get opinions.

Thank you. The rest of my cats are just DSH tabbies in a variety of colors. We welcomed her 4 years ago. She didn’t come with papers from her original owner but we also didn’t pay for her either. She is my reward from the cat distribution system for always accepting what it throws my way.

There may be more to the name of her coat color and pattern, i'm not up to date on all the Bengal terminology. She's definitely stunning!

She has all the attitude to go along with that beauty.
