European Shorthair coat colors and patterns
Two real registry answers to one question, stated as such. FIFe runs a CLOSED (though multi-branch) color table with green, amber or blue eyes. WCF's rule is open. No color has its own page because no color has its own audience: the breed's identity is the standardised ordinary cat, not a palette.
