Thread: Question about colour coding

Hi All,

My wife took our little girl "Amber Miracle" to her first show today and we were quite optimistic as she really is one of the most stunning girls we have ever produced.

Well she was disqualified as the judge said she was incorrectly registered. I had registered her as a Blue Tortie Tabby and the Judge said she is a "Black Tortie Silver Mackerel Tabby"

Now I understand the Silver part as I was a bit unsure of that myself, but I have looked everywhere and I cannot find a code number for the above mentioned "Black Tortie Silver Mackerel Tabby" Maine Coon.

In fact the only Blacks I can find are Solids, Smokes and Shaded, no Tabbies at all.

Can anyone advise me if such a colour code exists? (and what it is) as I am totally stumped now.

Btw, Ambers fur was unbelievably Blue when she was smaller and that's why I registered as a Blue Tortie.
