The brilliance of color and depth of shading on Persian and Exotic Silvers and Goldens is as unique as the personality of each individual cat. From the frosted glow of the chinchillas to the rich sparkle of the shadeds, nothing can compare to the unique tones of color found with each of these remarkable cats.
The CFA Breed Standard is the same for all colors of Silvers and Goldens. The only differences are noted in each section as it pertains to shaded vs chinchilla and black vs blue. For the complete Silver and Golden Persian or Exotic Breed Standard, please refer to the CFA website: http://cfa.org/Breeds.aspx
