Another solid colored beauty is the rich chocolate brown version of the Persian cat. With its deep brown chin and lips and contrasting red leather on the nose and paws this cat is truly a awe inspiring ball of color.

Silver & Golden Persian Cats

The most beautiful silver colored version is the Chinchilla silver Persian cat. The pure white undercoat is beautifully offset by the black paint on the back, head, tail and flanks.

This color combination makes the Persian cat luminous and shiny like silver. The Chinchilla silver Persian has lovely white ear tufts, chin, chest and stomach while the rims off its eyes, lips and nose are outlined with solid black.

Shaded & Smoke Persian Cats

Of the smoky version, the red Chinchilla or the shell cameo is an extremely popular variety of the Persian cat. It has a beautiful white undercoat topped off with red tips on the tail, flanks, head and back.

The sweet face and small legs have slightly red tipped hair which makes the Persian cat stand out among the crowd.

Tortoise Shell Persian Cats

This beautiful combination has increased the popularity of the tortoiseshell Persian cat.

Tabby Division Color Persians
