In the present time the different combinations of colors that the Persian cats coats have evolved into are categorized in order to be recognized with a little more ease.
Hence to achieve this eases these families that the Persian cat has been assigned to, are basically governed by the color of their coats. For instance the Golden Shadowed, Silver Shadowed, Cameo Shaded, and then there are the Red Persian cats.
Initialy the Persian cats had white colored under coat with layers of various color tips on the coat hair which is known as ticking. But now you can see absolutely new colors like blue cream due to cross breeding of these cats.
Pure white albino Persian cats are very uncommon and you will see Persian cats with red coats just like ordinary cats. The shade of red that you find in the Persian breed is not a pure shade of red which you may believe but it is more on the shades of orange or ginger with variation. You will find hints of brown or white on the tips or all red. Most of the red Persian cats however have a red coat all over.
The coat, lips and chin of the red Persians are red. You will discover that the nose leather and the paw pads are brick red while eyes have brilliant copper color which is entirely unlike the Silver Shaded or Chinchillas which have green or blue green eyes. The beautiful black rims around the eyes will give an impression that they are wearing eye makeup which is common in all Persian be it Silver Shaded, Chinchillas or Red cats.
You would see that red colors can occur with patches of different colors like cream, white and cameo as well. Let us take the Smoke Tortoiseshell Persian that has a layer of white under coat and deep black tips which stand out prominently with random patches of red and cream on the tips too which makes it look like a tortoiseshell.
It is absolutely enthralling to see this breed of Persian cat with various color patterns out of which few have cream ticking on the face or have a pure red face which is very popular.
According to the pedigree the red Persian and the Tortoiseshell cat posses copper colored eyes. The rest of them from the same breed like Silver Shaded, Golden Shaded or Chinchilla have eyes which are actually green or blue-green.
Except for the long and fluffy mane that the Red Persians tend to have, they have similar features like other cats of Persian variety like sturdyand short legs, strong body, punched face and dark rimmed eyes. Their lips and chin are red colored.
