I was replying to your previous response, not the OP's question.

Just to clarify, you said "I don't think that you can exactly lump them all (all off colors?) into one category and consider them "the same" as you have done here."

I think if people are calling parti, chocolate and golden "non standards" or "off standard", then yes, you are then putting them in a larger, general category of all yorkies who don't meet the standards, so I do consider them "the same." Off standard is off standard, no matter what off color they are; no matter what other issue causes them to be considered off standard. Or are you saying that some off colors are considered to be more "off standard" than other off colors are, thus they should not be put into the "same" category together?

As for the OP's question, colors we see are golden, parti (some being almost solid white), chocolate, golden parti, chocolate parti and black and tan/gold in addition to various shades of blue and tan/gold.
