Colour Chart

This colour chart is obviously for Colourpoints but the principal is the same for Selfs or CPCs.

When a Colourpoint is bred to a CPC then the resulting litter can be a mix of Colourpoints and Selfs all of which will be CPCs.

When a Colourpoint is bred to a Self that is not a CPC then the resulting litter will all be CPCs. There will be no Colourpoint kittens.

When two CPCs are bred together then the resulting litter can be Colourpoints or Selfs that may or not be CPCs.

(Seal represents black in the Selfs/CPCs)

(CPC stands for Colourpoint Carrier)

(Dil.) = Dilute Carrier, (Dil. poss.) = Possible Dilute Carrier

The next three charts shows the production of the chocolate series.

To produce a chocolate or lilac kitten both parents must either be a visual chocolate series or carry the chocolate gene.

In the absence of the chocolate gene in one of the parents the chocolate colour acts as seal and lilac acts as blue.

Lilac is the dilute of chocolate.

This chart shows simple chocolate/lilac matings.

Although not all combinations are listed, with the use of all four charts and the Basic Genetic rules shown on the previous page all combinations can be worked out.

If you need any help working out the colours from a specific mating please feel free to contact me.
