Ragdoll Colors & Patterns

Every Ragdoll is a “pointed” cat. That means the body is light, and the color shows up most on the “points”: the ears, the face mask, the tail and the legs. Every Ragdoll also has blue eyes. To describe a Ragdoll, we use two words: a color and a pattern.

Step 1: The color

Seal: dark chocolate-brown points, like a melted chocolate bar, with a warm cream body.
Blue: soft, cool grey points, like a rain cloud, with a pale, icy-white body.

Step 2: The pattern

Colorpoint: the classic look with no white at all. The ears, face mask, legs, paws and tail are all colored, and the body is lighter. Think of a cat that dipped its face, paws and tail in color.
Bicolor: an upside-down white “V” on the face, plus white legs, white paws and a white tummy.
Mitted: white “mittens” on the front paws, white “boots” on the back legs, a white chin and a white stripe down the tummy.
Lynx: adds tiger-like stripes to the colored parts: a striped face, striped legs and a ringed tail. Lynx can be added to any pattern, like a lynx bicolor or a lynx mitted.

Ragdolls also come in other colors, like chocolate, lilac, red and cream. At River Haze we focus on seal and blue in bicolor, mitted and lynx, the 8 combinations below. We don't currently produce colorpoint Ragdolls.
