Today the Persian Cats have number of different color coats and as such they have to be put into certain category to make it somewhat simple to recognize them.

To make it simpler the Persian cats have been categorized on the basis of their coat color. You can see from the examples here as to how they are called, Silver Shadowed, Golden Shadowed, and Cameo Shaded and of course Red Persian cats.The majority of the Persian cats are white with generally layers of different colors on just the tips of the coat which is technically known as ticking. But since there is a lot of mixed breeding the coats of the cats can evolve into totally different colors like blue-cream.Pure white albino Persian cats are very uncommon and you will see Persian cats with red coats just like ordinary cats. The shade of red that you find in the Persian variety is not a pure shade of red which you may believe but it is more on the shades of orange or ginger with variation. You will find hints of brown or white on the tips or all red. Most of the red Persian cats however have a red coat all over.The coat, lips and chin of the red Persians are red. You will find that the nose leather and the paw pads are brick red while eyes have brilliant copper color which is totally unlike the Silver Shaded or Chinchillas which have green or blue green eyes. The gorgeous black rims around the eyes will give an impression that they are wearing eye makeup which is common in all Persian be it Silver Shaded, Chinchillas or Red cats.You would notice that red colors can occur with patches of different colors like cream, white and cameo as well. Let us take the Smoke Tortoiseshell Persian which has a layer of white under coat and deep black tips which stand out prominently with random patches of red and cream on the tips too which makes it look like a tortoiseshell.It is absolutely fascinating to see this breed of Persian cat with various color patterns out of which few have cream ticking on the face or have a pure red face which is very popular.According to the pedigree the red Persian and the Tortoiseshell cat posses copper colored eyes. The rest of them from the same breed like Silver Shaded, Golden Shaded or Chinchilla have eyes which are actually green or blue-green.The only dissimilarity that you will find in Red Persian cats is that they have fluffier and longer mane but as far as other physical characteristics are concerned like punched face, short and bulky legs, solid body, dark rimmed eyes are similar to the other Persian breeds. The chin and lips have similar shade as its coat.
