Selkirk Rex coat colors and patterns

Effectively everything. TICA states COLORS: All. CFA weights color at 1 point of 100 (the lightest weighting in our files). GCCF's points table omits color entirely, CCA-AFC accepts all, and ACF excludes only amber. The differentiated fact: GCCF's Breeding Policy and CCA-AFC's standard both route breeders to the British Shorthair's color-genetics documentation, the registry-paperwork echo of the breed's measured Persian-family clustering.
