(To
complete the description of amber/light amber: Amber Tabbies are born apricot with black
markings; the markings brighten to reddish-brown/cinnamon at maturity. The nose is pink
and the paw pads and eye rims are brown. Light Amber Tabbies are born beige with blue
tabby markings; the markings brighten to pink-beige/fawn at maturity. The nose is pink and
the eye rims and paw pads are blue-grey. Amber/light amber replaces black/blue in torties.
Amber also occurs with silver and in bicolours/tabbies -and-white.)
The provisionally named Russet Burmese is an experimental Burmese colour in New
Zealand. In 2007, Nicki and Bob Mackenzie's line of seal (brown) Burmese (carrying dilute
and chocolate) produced "odd-coloured lilac" kittens which gradually lightened as they grew,
progressing through chocolate ticked tabby to red. The kittens traced to the same father and
two related females (mother and daughter) and all three shared a common ancestress only a
few generations back
