It seems to me, if you're serious about showing, you would need more of a written standard than this. For example, here's the written standard;



Colors
.
Puppies are born black and tan and are normally darker in body color, showing an intermingling of black hair in the tan until they are matured. Color of hair on body and richness of tan on head and legs are of prime importance in adult dogs, to which the following color requirements apply: BLUE: Is a dark steel blue, not a silver blue and not mingled with fawn, bronzy or black hairs. TAN: All tan hair is darker at the roots than in the middle, shading to still lighter tan at the tips. There should be no sooty or black hair intermingled with any of the tan.
.

.
Color on Body
.
The blue extends over the body from back of neck to root of tail. Hair on tail is a darker blue, especially at end of tail.
.

.
Head fall
.
A rich golden tan, deeper in color at sides of head, at ear roots and on the muzzle, with ears a deep rich tan. Tan color should not extend down on back of neck.
.

.
Chest and Legs
.
A bright, rich tan, not extending above the elbow on the forelegs nor above the stifle on the hind legs.

Compared that with the parti standard, which is: Parti-Color --Two or more solid colors, One of which must be white. This just doesn't seem descriptive enough. If you're waiting for the YTCA to write a standard for the parti, I think you'll have a long wait.

The CYTC uses the YTCA standard with the exception of the color.
