The Siamese breed is one of the most stunning cat breeds with unusual coat colors. The variations on their coats increase their visual appeal. Siamese cats have “points” which are darker parts of the coat. Here are the most common Siamese cat colors and characteristics:

Seal point cats are known by their dark seal-brown points, a dark brown nose and paw pads with a creamy-colored body. The Siamese seal point cats are said to have the darkest body color. According to genetics, the Siamese cats are originally black cats but due to genes, they gained new colors on their points.
Blue Point
The Blue Point Siamese cat color has slate blue points known as “dilute seal color”. Their body is bluish-white, it is a cold color that would disappear on the stomach and chest. As the cat grows old, the color of the coat becomes darker.
Chocolate Point
The body color of the Siamese chocolate point cat is creamy. They have chocolate-colored points and a chocolate-colored nose and paw pads. Their bodies should be white without any shadings due to their lack of shading. As a result, this leads to a contrast between their bodies and points.
Lilac Point
