Savannah colors
TICA allows in the Savannahs these colors:
DIVISIONS: Solid, Tabby and Silver/Smoke Division.
COLORS: Black (black with black spots), Brown Spotted Tabby (cool to warm brown, tan or gold with black or dark brown spots), Silver Spotted Tabby,(silver coat with black or dark grey spots), Black Smoke , (white undercoat with black spots) only.
The only color variations allowed are the gold to orange ground color with bold dark
markings, the silver ground color with bold dark markings, solid black and black smoke. Lips are black as are the prominent black tear duct lines on the inner sides of each eye.
On the spotted Savannahs the nose leather can be either brick red , solid black
or black with a light red or pink line running down the center.
In black Savannahs, the nose leather must be solid black.
Paw pads in either color variation should be deep charcoal or brownish black.
In addition, the Savannah can come in nonstandard variations such as the classic patterns, lynx point and blue or other diluted colors derived from domestic sources
The nonstandard variations are pets only and we do not strive to breed for them.

Snows can come in many colors, like seal, chocolate, lilac, blue, tortie, red. These colors are pretty rare to have in the Savannah's, but some times one of these colors are in our Savannah kittens.
CHOCOLATE POINT SAVANNAH
 |
The chocolate point generally has ivory-white fur which stays pale throughout their lifetime.This differs from seal points, whose coats tends to darken as they get older. Seal points sometimes end up with very dark coats indeed!Occasionally, though, you may find a chocolate point with a cinnamon tone to their coat.This is set off by warm-toned milk-chocolate colored points (facial mask, ears, tail, and paws). Their nose leather and especially their paw pads have a pinkish undertone.If in doubt, this pinkish undertone is a good way of telling a chocolate from a seal point, which has a dark brown nose and paw pads, with no pink showing at all.Chocolate point cats are less common than seal points and the kittens develop their coloring later than their darker seal and blue relatives.

| BROWN TICKED TABBIES SAVANNAH'S (BTT or STT) |
This pattern is pretty rare and not many breeders breed for this pattern. This pattern can be in Brown ticked tabby (BTT) and in Silver ticked tabby (STT). This Servaline pattern is theorized from the abbysinian breed, and there is evidence of the Servaline Serval was found in the wild. http://karlshuker.blogspot.com/2009/01/schrebers-cat-of-many-colours.html
A Leptailurus serval (servaline) is at the Smithsonian Museum (hall of Mammals) in Washington DC. http://collections.si.edu/search/results.jsp?q=record_ID:nmnhvzmammalsweb_7593074
The servaline cat has very fine or almost indistinct spots, and is smaller than the larger spotted forms.This pattern has small freckle spots, giving a speckled appearance instead of the big spots from the Serval.

A Torbie, or patched tabby, is a tortoiseshell where the tabby pattern is very distinct all over the cat. A Calico or Tortoiseshell may have distinct tabby pattern on the red or cream patches but no patterning on the other color. With a Tortoiseshell, the three colors are blended and don't form distinct patches. A Tortoiseshell may have significant portions of white as well, but the remaining colors are blended (this particular pattern is called a tortoiseshell and white). A Torbie is clearly patterned all over the cat, never on the white. With a calico, there is a significant amount of white, and the two colors are broken up into distinct patches
