It is perfectly normal for them to have different color gums. I have cats with purple ones, gray ones, pink and black. LOL. I read that the color can vary among the species.
Here is what is not normal that I found on a site and what is cause for concern.
The color of the gums is a good indicator of blood perfusion and oxygenation. The normal gum color is pink. If your pet has pigmented gums, lowering the eyelid can also give you an indicator of mucous membrane color. Pale, white, blue or yellow gums are cause for concern and you should contact your veterinarian immediately.

Yes it's normal. Just like their paws, their gums have their own distinct colouring. As long as the gums arent red and inflammed everything is fine.

This could be a sign of gingivitis. Which is an infection of the gums. But most cats and dogs get this, so there's not much you can do. But it's really not all that bad. But it is unlikely that it is. so yes it's normal

Yes, it's a normal as the changes in colour on their skin. As long as the gums aren't inflamed or infected that is.

That's completely normal. My cat is orange, but has black freckles on his nose, eyelids, and mouth. Sounds funny but it is the cutest damn thing.

Absolutely normal.
I have an orange kitty that has black spots on his nose, lips, and inside his mouth. My black and white kitty does too. I say that my kitties are freckled.

Yeah it's normal. It's just colouring that some cats have.
