Answer
It sounds like fawn and either tortoise shell (called "sooty fawn" in some countries) or pearl/iron grey (same colour, different names). Fawn are born an orange colour with the white undersides. Tortoiseshell are an orange colour with dark grey shading on the belly, face, etc. Pearl/iron grey are cream or whitish with grey shading on the belly, face, etc.
