How would one correctly describe my cat's coat pattern/color?

Sorry I can't supply a photo. She has a plain (no stripes) grey base coat that is interspersed with smallish flecks of peach: on her ears, down the right side of her face (like a Harlequin), and along her sides. Although she has a white bib and feet, she has no other colors mixed in with the grey and peach. If she also had mottled black splotches, I'd say she was a tortoise-shell; on the other hand, the peach spots seem to be too small and indistinct to be termed "calico." Which is the more appropriate term?
