As we know the Siamese cat is known for its ancient history along with its rich heritage. The heritage of Siamese cats is as much wider than that of the world, from the South Pole to the North Pole. Siamese cats are not only divided into types by their body shapes but also by their mysterious range of colors and shades.

Today, we’ll discuss all of the Siamese cat colors from Seal Point to Lilac Point, from Cinnamon to Flame Point. At Siamese Cat World, we’re passionate about sharing the colorful spectrum of Siamese cats with you.

Common Traits of Siamese Cats:

Siamese Cats may have different body shapes and different point colors but these are some things that they have the same:

• Vivid blue eyes and pale
• Creamy Coats

They also have darker facial masks, ears, tail, nose leather, paws and paw pads. These darker areas are known as Points.

The various types of Siamese cats are identified by the color of their points. Let’s explore the diverse range of Siamese cat colors.

The Main Four Siamese Cat Colors:

These are the four purebred Siamese cat colors, each identified by their unique point shades that reflect their rich heritage and captivating appearance.

• Seal Points: They are considered as the original “Meezers” that were founded in ancient Siam. Seal Point is considered the classic Siamese cat color.
  Seal-pointed Siamese cats have pale fawn/cream coats with dark-brown seal points on all prominent body parts like ears, tail, nose leather, paws and paw pads.
• Chocolate Points: They have lighter-diluted brown points. Chocolate-pointed cats have ivory-white bodies, and the lighter brown points make them seem like Milk-Chocolate color.
  They are also called “Choccie Points” Siamese cats. They can easily differentiated by Seal Points.
• Blue Points: They have bluish points on the pure white body. The bluish tint looks so cool as the kitten’s color. They have also slate-grey shades on their ears,tail, nose leather, paws and paw pads.
  Blue-pointed Siamese cats have cooler body tones than the other Siamese cats. Their bluish tint may get darker and turn into slate-grey as they grow old.
• Lilac Points: They are considered the most famous breed color of Siamese cats. They have diluted chocolate points. They have pink-toned, greyish color on cold white bodies.
  They are also known as “Frost Points”, in resemblance to pale-grey color. Their nose and paw pads are cinnamon-pink, which attracts its viewers. They also get darker color when they grow old.

These four Siamese cat colors are purebred and are officially recognized by all major cat associations, including the Siamese Breed Council of the Cat Fanciers’ Association (CFA) in the United States.
