The range of colors of Maine Coon cats
Maine Coon cats come in a wide variety of colors. Some people believe the different colors come with different personality traits but I’m not so sure about this! Whichever color Maine Coon you choose, you will find yourself sharing your world with one of the most sociable and gentle domestic cats in the world.
Maine Coons are revered for being the perfect family cat which is probably why they are also the most popular domestic breed. They are full of character and will provide you with endless hours of joy and entertainment.
Solid Maine Coon coat colors
As you would expect from the name a solid-color Maine Coon cat has fur of just one color with no other patches of other colors to be found. The recognized solid colors of Maine Coon are:
Also listed in some places as a solid color are:

Here is the range of smoke colors available:

Interesting facts (and fictions) about Maine Coon coat colors Genetics
With Maine Coon cats there are a few interesting facts where genetics are concerned. Male kittens always obtain both color genes from their mother.
The male offspring in a litter will always be either the color of the mother or the dilute (less intense) form of her color.
Female kittens will be a combination of both parent’s colors. This makes it easy to predict the colors of kittens to expect from a particular pair of parents.
Paws and noses
Maine Coon cats can have pink or black noses and paw pads, and sometimes a combination.
Eyes
The Maine Coon has beautiful eyes. They are large, round, wide-set and have a slightly oblique setting. Their eye color may be shades of green, gold or amber but there is no relationship between eye color and coat color, except in solid white cats, which may be blue-eyed, amber-eyed, green-eyed or odd-eyed.
Color and PersonalityI have been looking all day and can find no hard evidence that there is a link between color and personality. But some people are convinced that there is. This may be because they have had two Maine Coons of different colors and found their personalities are poles apart. And, of course, different cats can have different personality traits.
