Types of Maine Coon Colors and Patterns
There are three basic types of Maine Coon color: silver, brown, and cameo. We will describe each color, and explain why it is important to distinguish the different types of coat colors. The spotted tabby color is coded as number 24 and is marked with oval or round spots all over the body. This color is derived from the tiger, but its stripes are usually torn in a Maine Coon because it has multigenes in its coat.

Brown
The Maine Coon comes in an array of different colors and patterns, but they all share a certain resemblance in their overall appearance. Maine Coons come in almost all color and pattern combinations, but their pointed coloration is uncommon. The following are the five different types of coloration you can find on a Maine Coon: cinnamon, lilac, lavender, orchid, wheaten, gray smoke, and platinum.
White
A Maine Coon can be any color that you choose, but their pattern and colors can be quite different. The most popular color is black, which makes these cats extremely cute. However, you can also find these cats in bi-color, or a combination of several colors. For instance, you might find a White Maine Coon with patches of red and black on its chest and belly. Another type of color is the tortoiseshell, where the base color is white and there are patches of black or red on its body.
Blue
The Blue Maine Coon’s coat color comes in two basic patterns: solid and tiger. Solid colors are more common than tabby stripes and are found on many breeds. Tiger stripes are typically found on the face and legs but may also occur on the belly. Solid colors are often the most common of the two, so it’s important to understand their different colorings. Listed below are some examples of their pattern.
Cream
The Cream Maine Coon cat’s coat is buff-colored throughout. It has pink paw pads and nose leather. Red Maine Coon cats are a deep, vivid red. These cats are often mistaken for orange.
