British Shorthair Colours in Australia A Simple Guide

British Shorthairs come in a beautiful range of solid colours. This simple guide covers the main colours you will see in Australia so you can learn what to expect and choose the look you love.

Solid colours

• Black Deep and glossy with bright copper eyes

• Blue Even silver blue coat that so many people adore

• Chocolate Rich warm brown like milk chocolate ranging through to dark chocolate

• Lilac Soft pinkish grey that is very pretty in natural light

• Cinnamon Warm reddish brown shade like the spice

• Fawn Pale beige with a soft warm tone

• Red Vibrant warm orange, the classic ginger cat

• Cream Soft pale cream

Torties

All of these colours except red and cream can also appear as tortoiseshell where the base colour mixes with patches of red or cream. It is a really pretty and mingled colouring.

Some colours like cinnamon and fawn are less common in Australia so you may wait a little longer for the right kitten.
