Blue vs. seal: understanding Ragdoll colors

How blue and seal colouring develops, and why every Ragdoll’s markings are beautifully individual.

Blue vs. seal: understanding Ragdoll colors

Ragdoll kittens are born nearly white. Their points and patterns deepen gradually, often continuing to develop for several years. Seal colouring is a rich, warm dark brown, while blue is the diluted form of seal and appears as a soft cool grey.\n\nBicolor refers to the white inverted V on the face, white legs, and white underbody. Mitted Ragdolls have coloured legs with white mittens and boots, often with a white chin.\n\nColour is lovely, but temperament and fit should lead the decision. Every kitten is individual, and their personality is what families remember most.
