An overview of apricot point Siamese cats.
An apricot is a cream which has at least one set of the dilute modifier gene which modifies the cream into apricot.
Apricot is not recognised with FIFE so the breed number used is cream. EMS Codes also bear an x (unrecognised colour) before the letter denoting the colour e and an m (caramel) after the letter denoting the colour to denote the fact that GCCF recognise them as Apricot.

Apricot Point Siamese Cats GCCF Standard of Points
Eyes – Brilliant intense blue, the deeper the better.
Points – Mask, ears and tail apricot, hot in tone with a slightly darker dusting that develops and becomes more noticeable with maturity.The legs and feet will be slightly paler in colour but definite colour should show at the rear of the hind legs below the hock. Barring and striping on mask, legs and tail is permissible. Mature cats may show a pewter sheen on the ghost tabby markings, particularly on the head but also under the feet. ‘Freckles’ may occur on nose, paw pads, lips, eyelids and ears. Slight freckling in a mature cat should not be penalised.
Body – Warm creamy white. Shading, if any, to tone with the points. Such shading may be uneven and an Apricot Point should be penalised for shading no more no less severely than a Blue Point.
