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.
