DSH. I’ve noticed that black cats often have those brownish orange eyes.
Russian Blues usually have really pretty golden – orangey type eyes. But I have a calico that has them too.
Some Main Coons have really pretty golden-brown eyes! Here are a few pics to show you:

Their eyes tend to be a bit more golden than brown looking sometimes!
Copper eyes can appear in many breeds of cats as well as cats of no particular breed though they occur more often in pedigree cats. Eye colour is genetically linked to coat color. A cat with copper eyes could have any coat colour but pointed as pointed cats always have blue eyes.
Here’s two cats with copper eyes – Penny, my Red Classic Tabby and White Exotic Shorthair and Percy, my Black and White Persian (both rescues)
