The Birman is available in a number of colours. This refers to the colour of the face, ears, legs and tail. All Birmans have blue eye colour which will vary in intensity between individuals and white feet.

Seal Point Birman This is the traditional Birman colour, a rich, deep seal brown that has a wonderful warmth to it. It shows the most contrast of colour compared to all other colours available and is always so very popular.


Blue Point Birman Always a popular colour as it is so well known, along with the traditional seal point. A soft blue/gray colour to the points.

Chocolate Point Birman A pale, but warm milk chocolate colour to the points. This colour tends to keep a paler body compared to its next of kin, the seal.

Lilac Point Birman A soft, pinkish grey colour to the points. This is quite a feminine colour, very subtle and slow to develop, so expect lilac kittens to have little real colour at 12 weeks of age, just enough to see the markings.

Red Point Birman A wonderful, vibrant, rich red to the point areas of the Birman. This is a slow colour to develop, so often kittens will be quite white with just a smudge of red up the nose and the tail until mature.

Cream Point Birman This should be a soft, pastel cream on the point areas and can take some months before the full colour is seen.

Tortie Point Birman. This pattern can be available in all the colours, but only in females! So it is possible to have a seal tortie point, a blue tortie, chocolate tortie and a lilac tortie point. It is a combination of colours splashed with cream and /or red to give a very striking appearance. The picture shown is of a Seal Tortie Point.

Tabby Point Birman Tabby points show delicate tabby stripes on the face, up the legs and on the tail. The ears are solid but with what looks like a paler thumb print on the back of each ear. The pattern becomes more distinct with age and is available in all the colours of the Birman.
