The Colors of Cats
White is white, and black is black, right? Well, not quite when it comes to colors of cats. In the cat fancy, one color can have a number of different names depending upon the breed. For example, "black" is "black" in most breeds, but when the cat is an Oriental, "black" is called "ebony." A cat that you may think is "grey" is really called "blue." An "orange" cat is called "red." Here's a look at some colors and the correct terminology for them:
| COMMON NAME | PHOTO | CORRECT NAME |
| Orange or Ginger |  |
Red |
| Grey |  |
Blue |
| Tuxedo |  |
Black and White Bi-color |
