OK -- Let's Boogie is a BiColor -- but Original Art is an Emma Cook type Plicata. Some of these are very tricky -- check the database if you're uncertain!

And Gay Parasol looks like a BiColor -- but is actually a Neglecta. Whistling

Ken -- both of those are BiTones -- not BiColors. We're going to get to BiTones on another day. Smiling

I hope I'm not offending anyone. I'm not trying to be a tyrant -- what I am trying to do is make sure that everybody is posting the correct color pattern. An Iris may look like two colors -- but that doesn't make it a BiColor. It has to meet certain criteria to be a BiColor.

AND -- BiColors with white or yellow standards aren't BiColors -- they're Amoenas and Variegatas. Neglectas fall into this category too -- not sure about the color limitations. We're gonna get into those on other days too.

OK -- I'm gonna go back to posting my BiColors. I don't have a lot of those, all the limitations taken into consideration!!! Rolling my eyes.

I just realized Captain's Choice is an amoena, not a bi-color. Still learning!
