Ragdoll Standard - Varieties
All Ragdoll colours can appear only in three varieties:
Colorpoint (genetic code ss) – solid coat with darker points (nose, ears, tail and paws)
Mitted (genetic code S2s) – same as colorpoint, but with white paws and belly, with or without a blaze (a white line or spot on the face). The white coat must run continuously from the chin to the genitals.
Bicolor (genetic codes S2S2 high mitted, S4s true bicolor, S4S2 MHW mid high white, S4S4 HW high white or Van)— white legs, white inverted V on the face, white belly and sometimes white patches on the back (the amount of white usually depends on which bicolor type is present).
