Ragdoll Colors and Patterns

· Ragdolls are pointed cats, which means that they have color on their ears, faces, legs and tails with a much lighter, contrasting body color. They come in the standard colors of blue, lilac, seal and chocolate as well as the newer tortie, flame and cream.

1. Blue body color is ivory or bluish white with slate blue to silver gray points.
2. Lilac or frost body color is milky white with lilac or pinkish beige points.
3. Seal body color ranges from fawn to cream with deep seal brown points.
4. Chocolate body color is ivory or cream with points like milk chocolate.
5. A tortie is a multi-color cat. A Ragdoll can be a seal tortie having patterns of seal and orange patches on a seal body or a blue tortie with shades of gray and peach patches on an ivory body. A correctly marked tortie will have a split color face.
6. Flame point Ragdolls have a white to copper colored body with darker points.
7. Cream Ragdolls will be white or ivory and their points will be cream to light peach in color.

The three basic Ragdoll patterns are bicolor, mitted and colorpoint. A fourth pattern called lynx does not affect the color or the basic pattern but adds a striped effect to the face, legs, tail and a contrasting white on the inside of the ears.

1. Bicolor Ragdolls have points on their ears, face and tail with a white inverted “V” extending from their muzzle up into the darker mask on their face. They have white on their legs, feet, ruff and belly. Bicolor’s have a pink nose and pink paw pads.
