Pattern Rarity

Ultra Rare Patterns

Van Almost entirely white with only small spots of color on ears and tail. The rarest pattern. Solid aka Sepia Consistent color across the entire coat, no darker points. Very rare as they only recently entered the breed standard. Silver An iridescent, silvery sheen with a "tipped" or "shaded" effect. Incredibly elegant. Smoke Similar to solids but with a white undercoat that creates a dramatic, misty appearance.

Common Patterns

Color Point The classic Ragdoll look with lighter body and darker "points" on ears, face, paws, and tail. Mitted Classic pointed look with white "mittens" on their paws, a white chin, and sometimes a white belly stripe. Bicolor Large patches of white with a distinctive "inverted V" on their face. Legs and belly usually all white.

Rare Patterns

Lynx Adds faint "tabby" markings to any pattern. The tiger cub vibe is both unique and captivating. Tortie A mosaic of blended colors — no two torties have the same blend. Almost always female. Blaze A small white stripe or spot running down the center of the face. Each blaze is unique.
