Colours ?? of kittens to be ? Pics attached of parents

Hello all i recently have taken in 2 cats that wasnt neutured male and female , female is 1yr 4 months and male 2 yrs.
Female is pregnant , due 3 weeks ish so the vet says. The previous owner wanted to get rid of the cats quick as they was ' going back to there own country' .
Anyway im wondering if anyone has any ideas on the colours the babies will be. The female is a marble bengal cross tabby and the male is Pedigree silver british shorthair. will attach pics please any ideas what the babies would possibly look like.
thanks in advance

i dont know about colours tbh

my cat (blue tabby/white) got out and was seen with a brown tabby by a neighbour. She had

2 brown broken mackerel tabbies
1 blue broken mackerel tabby
2 classic tabby/white
1 black with white paws

so colours arent garunteed unless you know the pedigree background

The obvious question is whether or not the male is the father of the kittens or whether the female has been out and mated with someone else. If he is the father, you can expect half the kittens to be silver. Depending on his background, they might be all mackerel tabbies or you might get 50/50 mackerel and classic. You can also expect half to have some white markings. And there is also a chance that you will get some kittens that are self (solid colours) if both parents carry non-agouti.

It's going to be an interesting litter, that's for sure!
