In his book, Alice's Adventures in Wonderland, Lewis Carroll doesn't describe the Cheshire Cat except to say that it is "large" and "grinning from ear to ear" and has "very long claws and a great many teeth." Tenniel's illustrations are in black and white, so there is no indication as to its colour there either. However, for the Nursery Alice, Tenniel hand coloured twenty of his original illustrations, and he depicts the Cheshire Cat as being an ordinary, cat-like brown colour. (See Related Link below)

In the 1951 Disney adaptation it was pink and purple stripes.

Of course, there are actually two cats in Alice in Wonderland, the Cheshire Cat and Alice's pet cat Dinah. In Lewis Carroll's version, Dinah is never seen, but she does appear in Through the Looking Glass where she is depicted by Tenniel as being a tabby, but her colour isn't specified. Dinah does appear in the 1951 Disney version of Alice, where she is portrayed as being a reddish brown.
