Update: orange kittens with gray tails

These babies are 5 weeks old today!! They’re both girls, and they have one other sister (flame point) and three brothers (one blue, two flame point).

The consensus on my last post seems to be that they are likely red-on-blue. 5 week update: tail tips are still gray, their patterns are starting to really pop, and it’s seeming like they might both be dilute? I thought they would get darker orange as they got older, but they seem to be getting a little lighter if anything! All the other pictures I see of orange kittens are much darker at this age. I’d welcome any thoughts or opinions, are they apricot maybe?

Here are some updated pics of their coats, plus a couple bonus ones that don’t show their colors as well but are just cute :)
