About / Ragdoll colors and patterns
Ragdoll colors and patterns
Every Ragdoll is pointed, which means a pale body with darker ears, mask, legs and tail. The pattern sits on top of that point color, and the eyes stay blue for life.
The three patterns
Colorpoint has no white. Mitted adds white feet, chin and belly. Bicolor adds an inverted white V on the face and a mostly white underside.
Overlays
Lynx adds tabby striping inside the points. Tortie breaks the color into patches and only appears in females. Torbie is tortie plus lynx striping, and it is where our program spends most of its time.
Our focus
We breed mainly lynx and tabby points, tortie and torbie girls, and the chocolate and lilac lines. Color is confirmed by DNA, not by guessing from the photos.

How to read a listing
Naming a Ragdoll color
Color first, then overlay, then pattern, for example blue lynx mitted
Points darken with age, so a four week old kitten looks much paler
Chocolate and lilac carriers are only proven by DNA testing
White markings should be symmetrical in show quality cats
