(A white undertone with white tipping would make the cat solid white.)
For this reason, this coloration cannot be tipped with white. The silver undertone should always be white in color. The tipped color will affect the paw pads. Cats with a silver undertone and cream tipping are called “Cream Silver,” while cats with the same undertone but ebony tipping are called “Ebony Silver.” All of these color combinations are recognized as separate coat colors. Again, just about any solid color can occur as the tipping, including blue, chestnut, cinnamon, ebony, and fawn. Shaded cats can also have a silver undertone. For instance, a cat with a golden undertone and blue tipping would be called a “Blue Golden.” The base color should slowly fade into the tipped color, giving the cat a smokey appearance.Ĭats are categorized by their tipping and undertone color. The tipping color will affect the paw pads and nose of the feline. The “gold” undertone can vary from a very light off-white to an apricot, almost orange color. White isn’t included in this, as the tips of the coat cannot be tipped with a lighter color than the undertones. However, cats should have only one of two undertones: gold or silver.Ĭats with golden undertones can be tipped with any of the solid colors we mentioned above-almost, at least. There are many different color combinations. These felines end up with markings and have a shaded appearance due to the difference in coloration throughout their coat. Some Oriental Shorthair cats are mostly solidly colored but with extra undercoat shades. However, because many of these patterns are extremely similar across the different colors, we’re going to explain them briefly-not list out every possible combination. It’s the combination of all these patterns and all the available colors that give the breed so many different possibilities. All the colors above can appear in a range of different patterns, too.
