One of the earliest Abyssinians, Aluminium, was quite probably silver, though in
those days colour photography had not been invented so it is difficult to be certain about the
exact shade. Until the 1960's, usuals were the only colour recognised in Britain,
although blue and sorrel were being bred. These were officially recognised during the
1960's, and in more recent years many other new colours have been introduced to the breed.
These include fawn, chocolate, lilac, sex-linked red and cream, many new silver
combinations, and even torties, although at present most of these do not have Championship
status.
