The tabby coat colour on cat can be incredibly varied! The "Tabby" term means dark markings (stripes, swirls, spots) on a paler background. The stripe colour is solid (goes right to the hair root), but the background colour is banded with colour on each individual hair.
Here are just some of the many colours:
- Blue Tabby - Cream/ivory-blue base, slate blue markings.
- Brown Tabby - Coppery-brown base, black markings.
- Cameo Tabby - Cream base, pale red markings.
- Chocolate Tabby - Ivory/white base, medium-dark brown markings.
- Cream Tabby - Pale cream base, fawn/buff markings.
- Lavender (Lilac) Tabby - Milky cream base, frosty grey markings.
- Red Tabby - Pale red (ginger) base, deep red (ginger) markings.
- Silver Tabby - Silver base, black markings. Silver Tabbies with coloured markings on a silvery background are called Blue Silver, Red Silver (aka Cameo Tabby) etc.
