Siamese Cat Color Types

Seal Accent Color: The traditional color of the Siamese cat, first appearing in Europe in the 1880s. The coat is fine, short and smooth, close to the body, relatively precocious, but can't mate and give birth until they are older. This type of Siamese cat is the best known of the Siamese cats. The accent color is partly close to black, and with the light brown body, it looks very noble.

Chocolate Accent Color: Developed from the earlier seal-colored accent color Siamese cats, but only allowed to exhibit in 1950. The kittens are almost pure white and don't fully develop their chocolate colored spots until they are about a year old, and well-developed kittens tend to have darker accent colors as adults. This Siamese cat is the most common, with a creamy white body, quadruped,tail, and creamy chocolate face and ears.

It is a variant of the "blue accent color" with a creamy white body, and was only recognized worldwide in 1955. The Siamese cat is very popular with girls.

Red accent color: Originally called the "Orange Accent Cat", this cat was first shown in the UK in 1934, and was controversial because of the difference in fur color from the traditional Siamese cat. The cat was bred to a red tiger spotted Persian.

Chocolate tortoiseshell: in North America, a portion of the registry considers them to be accent-colored short-haired cats, while in the United Kingdom, people include it in Siamese cats. But both have been recognized.

Red Tabby: When the Siamese was introduced to Europe, it was known that the breed came in a variety of tiger accent colors, and the first tiger accent Siamese was described in 1902, but it was not until recently that the breed became famous.
