The main coat colors for the Maine Coon

1.Solid

Black-Sleek and mysterious, solid black Maine Coons have a rich, velvety coat and often golden or copper eyes.

Red-Bold and warm, red tabbies (aka orange or ginger) are friendly and attention- grabbing.

Blue-A soft, smoky gray that’s elegant and calming. Sometimes appears almost silver in the light.

Cream-A pale version of red, with a pastel tone that’s delicate and refined.

White-Angelic and rare, white Maine Coons have a pure coat and can have blue, gold, or odd-colored eyes. Health Note: Blue-eyed all whites can be prone to deafness.
