Ragdoll Cats come in six basic colors, three patterns, four types, and with two variations. Please see the list below for the full list.
Ragdoll Basic Colors:
• Seal (Black) - shades of browns and cream through the body and deep Seal (almost black) coloring on the ears, tail, and other areas of the body as designated by the pattern of the Ragdoll
• Blue - light silvery blue greys through the body with deep Blue Grey on the points
• Chocolate - light creams and milk chocolate browns through the body with deep brown or close to seal on the ears and points with a light chocolate cream color on the tail
• Lilac - almost white on body with light lilac blue (hint of tan in certain lighting) on the points
• Red (Flame) - cream colors on the body and "hot" red orange coloring on the points
• Cream - almost white on body with peachy cream coloring on the points
Ragdoll Patterns:
• Point (Pointed, Colorpoint, Colourpoint)
• Mitted
• Bicolor
Ragdoll Types:
• Traditional - normal blue eyed Ragdolls
• Mink - richer colored than traditional Ragdolls, 95% have Blue Green Aqua Marine colored eyes and often have a thicker and plusher coat than their traditional siblings
• Sepia - extremely rich and dark colored Ragdolls with an extremely plush coat and any colored eyes, including jeweled, are possible. Blue Grey and Green Grey are very common Sepia eye colors. Blue Eyed Sepia's are rare and with their rich shaded coats and stunning blue eyes are quite breathtaking.
• Solid - full color Ragdolls with deep rich coloring and no shading to the coat color(s) and any colored eyes, including jeweled, are possible. In addition to the colors available in the other three types of Ragdolls, Solid White Ragdolls are also possible with Blue Eyed Whites being the most rare.
Ragdoll Variations:
• Lynx (Tabby) - means they have tabby striping over top of their other pattern
• Tortie - female ragdolls can also be Torties. This means the Seal, Chocolate, Blue, or Lilac female ragdolls can also have a peachy cream or red spotting or shading mixed in with the other color. These tortie markings can be very subtle or extreme. Blue and Lilac Torties are also often called Blue Creams or Lilac Creams
Learning all the possible types of Ragdolls is challenging as there are over 240 different variations. However, most breeders only deal in traditional Ragdolls though a good number have now added Mink to their breeding programs. Very few breeders have Solid and Sepia programs, so these still remain very rare types of Ragdolls.
