Coat: Short, glossy and resilient with undercoat.

Colour: Rich and warm with rufous toning on nose, cheeks and ears present even in the palest colours. Paler on the underside. As it takes a long time for the colour to develop fully in Chocolate, Lilac, Caramel, Gold (Cinnamon) and Peach (Fawn) kittens, they will be much paler than adults until full colour is achieved at 2 years of age.

Spotted or Marbled markings. The coat patterns have three levels of efinition: ground colour, paler than pattern; pattern, delicate though distinct from ground colour; a misted mantle, caused by random ticking in the solid coloured areas

Faults: Pinch small or high ears are faults. Disqualify in any other colour than green in adults. Absence of coat ticking leads to disqualification as well.
