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.

The Persian cat families have been further separated into groups according to the color of their coats to make it easy for people to recognize them. For example you will find Silver Shadowed, Golden Shadowed, Cameo Shaded and also Red Persian cats.

You will find that most of the Persian cats have white layer of underlying coat with different colored tips which are technically called ticking. But you will discover that there are number of unusual colored cats like blue cream which is the consequence of mixed breeding.

Similarly another color that has developed for the Persian cat is red which now recognized is to be the color that occurs in normal cats unlike albino whites which are considered very rare. It is not a bright screaming red, rather an almost orange or rather ginger color, which can vary. This means that the cat could either be all red or could have traces and hints of either white or brown ticking. Mostly however, red Persian cats tend to be completely red.

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.
