Blue(Dilute)
The blue bengal is an uncommon color that is beginning to gain popularity among bengal breeders. They have a lovely blue grey coat with some creamy peach tones. The pattern on the blue is also a dark blue color not black. The tail tip of the blue will also be diluted and not the traditional black. Blues can come in other colors such as silver, snow, charcoal, etc....
Genetics
The blue(dilute) bengal is the result of two recessive genes (d/d). This gene codes for melanophilin which is responsible for pigment causing the hair to be diluted(blue) instead of black in a brown cat. So a blue cat will have the genotype d/d on a genetics test.
