DDNA tests aren't just for diagnosing potential genetic disorders in Bengal cats, they are also a great tool for gaining insight into the colors our bengals have and what colors they carry. We do a full DNA panel on all of our breeding bengals. Check out our Bengal Cattery Health Testing and DNA Results on our documents page. Understanding bengal colors and the genetics of them is a great way to be able to predict potential litters and pair cats based on color lines as well.
The standard Bengal cat colors are:
- Brown Bengals
- Silver Bengals
- Snow Bengals (White Bengals)
Snow Bengals are split into three types:
- Snow Lynx
- Snow Mink
- Snow Sepia
But thats not all!
Non-Standard Bengal Colors are:
- Charcoal Bengals
- Blue Bengals
- Black Bengals (Melanistic Bengals)

We focus mainly on Brown Bengal kittens and Silver Bengal Kittens.
A few of our cats carry Snow color markers (Snow Lynx and Snow Mink)
They also carry Charcoal and Melanistic as well.
