OK -- that's all of the BiColors that I have.

Up for discussion: should we go ahead and add Variegatas to today's pattern? Or would that just confuse things?

I could add another twelve or so varieties to this category..............

Well, I posted some that I should not have, like Mexican Holiday. Oh well I'm ahead of the game, Rolling on the floor laughing Like most humans we tend to over analyze to the point that we loose focus on the goal. I wonder what the history is on why the deciders, decided to make a special category for certain bi-colors, and certain bitones. Could it be that when they were developed the others colors didn't exist, and therefore they had no idea that they would cause so much confusion? There I go, over analysing agian, Whistling Hilarious!

Yah -- you're right about over-analyzing Tom!

Still waiting for opinions -- should we do Variegatas today? We have plenty of other options for tomorrow.................

I'm in and out today with lots going on, so I won't be able to upload pics until later. I'd say since there are lots of Variegatas already in the mix, and since they are also bi-color, why not include them. If you know the difference, you can just label them if you like. Either way works for me though.
