In motion, the coat will break open, giving glimpses of a startling white undercoat. In repose, the smoke appears to be a solid color cat. There are six separate colors, black, blue, cream, cameo (red), smoke tortoiseshell and blue-cream smoke. The smoke Persian is one of the most striking patterns of the Persian colors. The shell and shaded tortoiseshells have a mantle of black tipping with well-defined patches of red tipped hairs while the shell and shaded blue-creams have blue tipping with well-defined patches of cream tipped hair. The cream shell and shaded cameos demonstrate a white undercoat tipped with cream. The Shaded and Smoke Division includes the shell and shaded cameos which have red tipping with a white undercoat. Silvers and goldens have green or blue-green eyes rimmed with black, black paw pads and brick red or rose nose leather.
Their ground color is a rich, warm cream tipped with black. The tipping on the legs and face should match and is darker than the chinchilla. Shadeds show a mantle of black on the back, shading evenly down the sides. The chinchilla is a sparkling white cat with black tipping scattered as evenly as stardust, ever so lightly, on the face, legs, tail and body. The exquisite silvers are considered the most ethereal of all Persians. The Silver and Golden Division consists of chinchilla and shaded silvers and goldens. The chocolate demonstrates a warm chocolate-brown color while the lilac is a warm lavender with a pinkish tone. Chocolates and lilacs, introduced through the combination of Persian and Himalayan, are rarely seen. Pale milk-colored creams are the dilute of the deep vibrant glowing reds. Blacks have glossy patent finishes that glisten with intensity. Their pale silver-blue coats are most beautiful when viewed in natural lighting. Blues, once the apex of the breed, have been interbred with other colors to produce a more uniform type.

The coat color for all solids should be sound to the roots and free from markings or shadings. The other solid colors have brilliant copper eyes. Some have brilliant copper or deep blue eyes, others the surprising combination of one blue and one copper eye of equal intensity. In the Solid Division, only the pristine whites come in three different eye colors. While the white Persian has long been the darling of photographers and advertisers, Persians come in an astonishing number of colors, which are divided into seven color divisions for purposes of competition. It is wise to establish the routine of the bath when they are young. An occasional bath, attempted only after a complete comb-through and clipping of the nail tips, will keep the coat clean, healthy and beautiful. Proper maintenance requires a daily run-through with a metal comb to eliminate the potential drawbacks of tangles and hairballs. Their long flowing coats require an indoor, protected environment. Pleasurable as an unexpected sunbeam, their companionship is close and enduring. Persians are tremendously responsive and become a constant source of joy and delight to their owners. Playful but never demanding, they love to pose and will drape themselves in a favorite window or chair, enhancing the decor in much the same way as a treasured painting. They like to have their feet firmly planted and are not given to high jumping and climbing. Persians have short heavilyboned legs to support their broad, short bodies. They communicate delightfully with their large expressive eyes and make charming pets for all ages. Their quiet, melodious voices are pleasant and non-abrasive. Creatures of habit, they are most at home in an atmosphere of security and serenity, but with love and reassurance, can easily adapt to the most boisterous of households. Their sweet, gentle, personalities blend into most households once they feel secure in their new environment. Persians, with their luxurious coats and open pansy-like faces are the number one breed in popularity. They were called Persian for their “country of origin,” but hieroglyphic references as early as 1684 B.C.
