A silver Bengal cat is a little wonder with cold colors! Silver was introduced to the Bengal cat in the 90's and is due to a cross with the American Short-hair cat. Silver is not a color, but rather a lack of color caused by his inhibitory gene (I). The silver Bengal cat we normally see is actually a brown Bengal cat whose silver gene has come to inhibit the warm color pigmentations.

A silver snow Bengal cat is simply a snow that has also received the silver gene. The silver gene hides the warm colors so the silver snow Bengal cat will be a little colder in coloring than the snow. For example, the silver snow lynx will be whiter-gray than cream-white. Usually, we notice a bigger difference as the cat grows.

These unique traits come from the charcoal gene and can vary in intensity from one cat to another.
The color also varies depending on what type of silver.

He has a rosetted or marbled pattern like other Bengal cats but you really can't see much because the pattern is black on black. There is, however, a slight difference in color that sometimes allows us to see what is called ‘’ghost’’ markings in the natural light of the sun or the flash of a camera, which looks like the spots on the black panther also known as or called ghost spots.
There is also the silver smoke Bengal cat...The silver smoke is both silver and melanistic (black). This color is really special because the melanistic gene makes the Bengal cat all black and the silver gene whitens the background of the coat.
