BREED INFO > THE BURMESE > COLOUR VARIETIES

There are quite a few colours recognized in the Burmese.

Brown (BUR n)

The fur of this cat is warm dark brown, which gradually becomes lighter towards the belly. Apart from this and the slightly darker ears and mask no other colour is allowed. The nose leather and the feet are brown. A too dark brown, towards black is wrong.

Blue (BUR a)


The fur of this cat is soft silver grey. The back and tail are slightly darker. The ears, the face and the feet must show a clear silver shine. The nose leather is dark grey, the feet are pinkish grey.

Chocolate (BUR b)


The fur of this cat is warm, milk chocolate coloured. The ears and mask may be a bit darker, but the paws, tail and lower jaw must have the same colour as the back. Evenness of colour is desired.
The nose leather is warm chocolate brown, the feet are stone pink to chocolate brown.

Lilac (BUR c)


The fur of this cat is soft pigeon grey with a light pinkish glow. The ears and the mask may be slightly darker of colour. The nose leather is lavender pink, the feet are light pink to lavender pink
