American Shorthair Colors

The American Shorthair colors are specified under the breed standard. I’ll quote from the CFA breed standard. There are 69 specified coat types and colors on my calculation. The highly favored eye color is brilliant gold and the eye color is specified for each coat type/color.

Some of these coat colors are very refined and there will be no pictures available or you’ll be lucky to find one. The classic silver tabby is perhaps the best known for this cat breed. Your breeder will be able to help. Link to a page on this cat breed.
