- Red Variations: From red tabby Maine Coon coats with distinct stripes to solid red variations, these hues add vibrancy to the breed, sought after by enthusiasts.
- Cream and Blue Tones: Cream Maine Coons exhibit a diluted red pigment, resulting in a pale off-white or beige coat, while blue Maine Coons appear silvery-gray due to diluted black pigment.
- Smoke Gene: Rare shades like shaded Maine Coons or chinchilla Maine Coon coats, along with smoke Maine Coons, are produced by a recessive gene, creating a striking contrast between dark tipped fur and lighter undercoat.
- Tabby Patterns: Classic tabby Maine Coon patterns, dominant in the breed, include stripes, swirls, and spots on various backgrounds, adding a timeless appeal to the cats.
- White Misconception: White Maine Coons, often thought of as a color, are actually a result of a masking gene covering the true base coat color, with eye color variations adding to their uniqueness.
- Tortoiseshell and Calico Maine Coons: While not rare in females, male tortie and calico Maine Coons are rare due to genetic factors, featuring patches of black, red, and white colors.
