Siamese coat colors and patterns
The classic four every registry recognizes: seal, chocolate, blue and lilac point. Beyond them the registries split. GCCF and ACF fold red, cream, tortie and tabby (lynx) points into one Siamese breed (GCCF counts 32 colors and patterns). CFA and Canada's CCA-AFC register the extended colors as a separate breed, the Colorpoint Shorthair. Blue eyes, always, at every registry.
