I love all cats but I do have a favorite color and it is red. Which is why I love Somalis. I also love longhair another reason Somalis are perfect for me.

Edited to add, I don't think he would have survived the whole winter. I wish I could have taken the whole litter!
You have your new kitten.

Congratulations

Pictures, name and all that as soon a possible.

Actually, a lot of people call them orange in the U.S. (and ginger in the U.K.). Whenever my vet tries to write their color in their charts, I tell them red then hold my hair next to the cats. We pretty much match exactly. I wouldn't want to be called an "orange-head". It's a personal thing.

Over the river and through the woods...
I love calicos (hence my name), but they are hard to find around here. I have also seen pictures of cats that are white or light grey with black tabby stripes. Does anyone know, is that an actual breed or just another tabby marking? Either way, they are gorgeous!

I just LOVE Gizmo's markings. He is grey with white swirls on his sides. His coat looks almost blue, and he has the pointed chin of an oriental cat. When he sits and stares at you he looks like an oriental statue.

And there is a barn cat that is absolutely beatiful. He is a tabby that has every color that you can imagine in stripes with a white underbelly.

Oh, any my Harley, a red tabby....oh, I just love them all!

With soo many gorgeous kitties out there- it's soo hard to choose! I love them all!


If i had to narrow it down though based on coat, i LOVE the following
:

Havanna Browns- i've yet to see one in person- but in all the pictures i've seen- oh my they're stunning!!!

Turkish Angoras (like my Isabella) - their coats are sooo beautiful! it's is the most soft/delicate fur! It never mats- it looks just stunning!!! They come in all different coat patterns (most people only think they come in solid white)....but for me- my favorite has to be a solid white coat like Isabellas
Just lovely!

Tortishells & Calicos!

I LOVE torti-point Colorpoints like my kitty Jasmine. You don't see that type of coat everyday- and i just LOVE the way it looks


Chocolate Seal Points, Blue Seal Points, Lilac Points, Lynx Points - love all the "pointed" varieties!!!

I also am a huge fan of jet black kitties- there is nothing more striking than a solid black kitty- soo elegant! My Velvet reminds me of a little panther


I think one of the most gorgeous cats i ever saw was a ginger (well, his coat was really more of a "red" color) Maine Coon at a cat show- ohhh man- that cat was beautiful!!!


my list could go on and on- there are soooo many i love!!

I will have to say that I am most partial to orange (or ginger) tabbies, and solid black cats. The first cat that I ever knew (my parents' first child) was a ginger tabby, and the sweetest of cats. The first cat that was ever MINE was a solid black cat, that I helped to bottle raise (while in kindergarten). But I also love to see an elegant Siamese or Himalayan. Also, I don't know what they are called, muted tabby maybe, but they are the cats that are almost solid white with the faintest tabby markings around the face or tail. They are so gorgeous!! But for me the deciding factor has always been personality! I might look for a certain color but never exclusively. I love them all!!

I love dark colored classic tabbies! I never thought I would be such a fan of tabbies until Buster walked into my life after a period of homelessness. I always wanted a tuxedo cat for years but couldn't turn this poor emaciated cat away. Now I'm nuts about classic tabbies and nothing else. However, if another feral cat somehow entered my life, I would definitely adopt him or her.

Actually, I love all cats regardless of their markings and colors. I also really like black cats because they are so cool looking.

I love them all but have a soft spot for red cats since I have 2 redheads
I didn't go to get either of them with the intention of getting a red cat, but that's what I came home with on both occasions. When I went to a rescue to get Jaffa, I didn't know what colours they'd have and there was little Jaffa making "take me home" eyes at me. When I went to see Mosi's breeder, Mosi was the only male in the litter still available and I wanted a male. My next fave is probably silver tabby markings. But there are no colours I don't like. Magpie (in my avatar) was black and white and he was gorgeous. I never used to be overkeen on torties but I've seen so many lovely torties since I've been hanging around cat forums that I really like them now.

I like pretty much all colours - although would never choose to own a tortie (But dont tell the long term foster who is a tortie and white!!). Ultimate favs would be pure blacks, pure whites, tabbies, greys, silver tabbies

I adore ALL cats, but especially black ones, and Maine Coons.

Tabico is not a color/pattern. It should be called a Patched Tabby or Torbie (tho torbie IMO is too close to TorTie)


Anyway my favorite colors are red tabbys (with or w/o white), chocolate, silver, calicos, and cameos).

But I like just about any color cat. I fell in love with a GORGEOUS all black oriental shorthair that was breathtaking
