Australian Mist Cats - Coloring

There exist several color patterns typical for Australian Mist Cats.

Dark brown markings against a warm ivory ground, with red nose, outlined in brown, and brown pads;
Bluish-gray markings against an oatmeal ground, with rose nose, outlined in blue, and blue pads;
Chocolate markings against a creamy ground, with pink nose, outlined in gray, and chocolate pads;
Dove gray markings against a mushroom ground (Lilac Mist), with pink nose, outlined in dove gray, and dusky pink pads;
Cool bluish-fawn to honey brown markings against a creamy ground under a cool metallic sheen (Caramel Mist), with lilac toned pink nose, and pink pads;
Old gold markings against a warm cream ground, with pinkish-orange or bronze nose and pink pads;
Pinkish-fawn markings against a cream ground (Peach Mist), with lilac nose, and dusky pink pads.

The coat of an Australian Mist Cat has three levels of definition: ground pale color; pattern which is delicate, but distinct from the ground; a misted mantle caused by random ticking in the solid color areas.

Cats with spotted patterns have spots of any shape and size over sides, flanks and belly. Tail is evenly ringed with a solid tip. Necklaces can be broken or unbroken. Marks on the forehead form an intricate letter "M". Marbled pattern cats have markings with as little "bulls-eye" similarity as is possible. The pattern gives the impression of marble with a horizontal flow when the cat is stretched. Vertical stripes are undesirable in purebred Australian Mist Cats.
