Standand color Yorkies do not to my knowlwedge have any brown pigment on the skin. Lexi might carry Parti genes..but I am not an expert. I do know I have never seen brown pigment on the skin of my Yorkies or anyone I groomed..we are talking about hundreds in numbers.
It is so easy to fake papers on purebred dogs, so ones without papers coudl be anything. A well known breeder once told me even show pedigrees are 50% faked in many lines. She told me to never call a breeder and say I wanted a puppy from a any certain bloodline, because unreputable breeders will "find" one by the end of the week.

Lexi is darling and I would not care if she was or wasn't.
