COLORS - Ragdolls come in a variety of colors:  Seal , blue, chocolate, lilac, red, cream, tortie, silvers and smokes.
Color is restricted to the points (face, legs, tail).  The ragdoll has a lighter body color than the points, varying in shades, keeping with the tone of the point color.
Solids: Some catteries breed a solid color cat.  Much like the Persian look.  There is controversy over this pattern as the ragdoll is suppose to be a colorpoint cat.
 
PATTERNS - Point, Mitted, Bicolor, and Lynx (lynx meaning tabby markings, or striping).

 

  
 

 

Blue

 

BLUE POINT
Color being a medium grey
to steal grey on the points
(face, legs, tail).
The proper term is Blue.
 
 

 

 
BLUE POINT MITTED
The same grey color, but has white mittens or gloves on the legs. Very much like a birman cat's white gloves.
 
 

 

 
BLUE BICOLOR
Look for the white inverted "V" on the face. A bicolor can have an overlay of color on his back, this is called the" saddle".
 
 

 

 
BLUE LYNX POINT
(Photo Shown is also Bicolor)
 Blue grey color but this pattern shows striping  or tabby markings.
 

Seal

 

 
SEAL POINT
Dark brown on the points, and nose leather almost black. Body color cream to beige, and also as the cat gets older there will be some overlay of color on the body of the cat.

 

 

 
SEAL POINT MITTED
Dark brown on the points with white mittens.

 

 

 
SEAL BICOLOR
The white inverted "V" appears on the face of the cat.  Around the "V" will be a nice dark brown color and the back of the cat can have a saddle or body patching on it. 
Nose leather is pink .
 
 

 

SEAL LYNX POINT
Any of the patterns and colors can be lynx . The seal has dark brown lines on the face, legs, and tail.

 

Lilac

 

LILAC BICOLOR
 There is a White inverted "V" on the face surrounded with a very delicate silver gray color.

 

 
 
 
LILAC POINT
The lilac point is the lightest of the colors. The point color can be a  very light silvery grey, or even  mushroom in color .  Nose leather is light grey with flesh tones showing through.  It looks to be lavender in color.

 

 
LILAC POINT MITTED
Same elegant color as the lilac point, only furnished with white gloves or mittens.

 

 
LILAC LYNX POINT
This is probably close to the lightest shade you will find in the ragdoll . It will take almost two years before you see much for coloring on this cat.  Those of you liking white, will love this color.

 
Chocolate
The chocolate point is a warm brown color on the points.
The body coat is  off white or cream in color.  The chocolate point  has very little color shading on the back  as  the cat matures.
The nose leather is a burnt rose color or a milk chocolate in color.
The chocolate point comes in  the point, mitted , bicolor , and lynx.

 

 
CHOCOLATE POINT MITTED
 
CHOCOLATE POINT

 
CHOCOLATE BICOLOR

 
CHOCOLATE LYNX POINT

Red
The red point  is an orangy color on the points.
As the color comes in they almost look like lynx points.
However at two or three yrs. of age , the red point  will be a very handsome color.
Red points come in the mitted, bicolor, lynx pattern too.

 

Cream
 The cream point is still orange but in a more delicate shade.
The cream point is also a very slow color to come in.
Cream points come in all patterns including the lynx.

 

This Photo is a Mixture of Cream and Red Kittens

Tortie
Tortie means with red or cream.
This color is the female version of the red. You will find tortie
points in all colors.  Seal tortie, choc. tortie, lilac tortie, blue
tortie , etc.   You can have red and cream girls without tortie.  However, torties are always girls.   A tortie bicolor can look
very much like the calico cat we are all familiar with.  When you
add the lynx to a Tortie Point, It will be identified with a new
name,. TORBIE PT. 
They are very unique in color.  Each seems to have their own
identity because there is no set pattern where the cream or red can
fall on this cat.

 

Photo Coming Soon!

Silvers & Smokes
This is a fairly new color to be identified in the ragdoll.
It has been here but very few breeders spent time perfecting this exquisite color.  Silvers and Smokes are more of a  duplicate pattern  than a color.  They can come in all the colors and patterns.
Smoke will not be found in lynx. Silver is the lynx pattern. 
Maybe a little confusing for non breeders.
Silver
Silvers are always lynx points.  They come in seal, choc. blue, lilac , red and cream. and in all the patterns. 
Photo Coming Soon!
 
Smokes
Smokes have color only on the end of the hair shafts.
The color underneath is always white.  This is a gorgeous color seen,  as the cat moves away from you.
Photo Coming Soon!
