Nebelung coat colors and patterns

Blue only, every recognizing registry agrees, with the silver-tipped shimmer as the breed's finish. The one nuance real owners search: a small white patch (usually the chest) is a real, named fault. It is penalised by TICA and awards-withheld by GCCF and ACF, but not formally disqualifying at any of the three. Green eyes are the standard's aim, arriving with maturity.
