Cats
Chocolate Lavender (Lilac) Taupe (UK: Lilac-based caramel)
Cinnamon Fawn UK: Fawn-based Caramel
These colours will naturally look a little different on Burmese (due to the sepia gene),
Tonkinese (mink gene) and cats with the silver Inhibitor gene. For clarity, this article will
ignore those additional genes and just look at the eumelanin (black) series of colours.
An additional type of recessively carried brown colour has been reported in laboratory cats,
but not in the outside world. Termed "Barrington Brown", a cat with two copies of this gene
had black pigment diluted as shown below. Because it hasn't (yet) been seen in the cat fancy,
this gene is enigmatic to many fanciers.
Some have suggested it is the same as caramel (dilute modifier), however some reports
indicate cats with 2 copies of the Barrington Brown gene were different in colour from cats
