Others colors are like ...Parti Color

At least fifty percent white, with spots or patches of any other acceptable solid color. The head can be of a solid color but white muzzle, blaze, or white muzzle/blaze combination (preferably symmetrical) are equally acceptable. Full or partial saddles are acceptable, as long as they do not exceed the color proportion, but are not preferred. Ticking in the white of the coat is acceptable but not preferred.
Phantom
Solid base color with sharply defined markings of a second color appearing above each eye, on the sides of the muzzle, on the throat and forechest, or in a chin and forechest bowtie pattern as well as on all four legs and feet, and below the tail. A phantom without clearly defined face markings or one that presents with its whole face colored in the second color is acceptable, as long as it maintains all the other specified body markings. Any combination of acceptable colors is allowed.
Abstract
(otherwise know as a mismark): Less than fifty percent white, with the remaining percent any other acceptable solid color. Many breeders mistakenly call these abstracts tuxedos. They are however NOT true tuxedos.
Sable
A coat represented by black-tipped hairs on a background of any solid color, with no particular pattern/location designated for such hairs.

Brindle
A coat that exhibits a tiger-striped pattern resulting from layered black hair intermingled in areas of lighter color: ie: lighter color with black stripes.
Multi-Patterned
A dog that clearly exhibits more than one of the acceptable color patterns, such as; a Parti with full or incomplete phantom markings (facial markings with or without presentation of the diamond under the tail), or a Phantom with additional abstract markings, A brindle with abstract markings, a parti with brindle spots, etc.
True Tuxedo
A very heavily marked parti and where as they are usually less than 50% white they are still concidered a parti and are produced by partis. Tuxedos will usually have a white bib that may or may not go all the way around the neck, they usually have an all white belly. The white will usually extend from the elbows down to the feet and from the hock to the rear foot. However you can have some variation in this with one or two legs not having any white at all. You may or may not see markings on the head.
Masking
You can often have poodle born with either black or white masking on the faces. This is not to be mistaken with the markings of a phantom. These masked poodles do not have the seperated eyebrows nor the body markings of a phantom. Most times as a puppy with a mask matures and the face is shaved the mask will gradually disappear. Which would leave many thinking that the mask has something to do with the sable gene and that the masking is only tipping on each individual hair shaft.
