For complete information about the EMS colourcodes look at FIFe's site here
 
 
Colours without pattern/
non agouti
The code numbers for white all start with 0 and followed by a code number for the amount of white.  The number is put between the letter for colour and the number for pattern (if the cat has any white) The cats pattern/agouti is coded with numbers (allways with 2 as the first number) and appended after the letter for colour.
n: black   21: unknown pattern, or the pattern is not possible do decide.
a: blue 01: 75% or more is white (van-coloured) 22: blotched tabby
d: red 02: Between 75% and 50% is white (harlequin-coloured) 23: mackerel tabby
e: cream 03: Between 50% and 25% is white (bicoloured) 24: spotted tabby
f: black tortoiseshell 09: Less then 25% is white. 25: ticket tabby
g: blue tortoiseshell w: The cat is white  
s: Silver. Silver without pattern is called smoke. The letter s is put after the letter for colour to show that the colour is in combination with silver.  For example: ns this is  black silver, ds is red silver.  If the cats colour is without pattern/non agouti, the correct name is black smoke and red smoke.    
nt: amber (black)    
at: light amber
