Yes, I've read that calico was created using partridge, and there is such variation within each of those colors. That's why I was wondering if anyone knew the rules for showing calicos.

X2. It may be blue partridge, but it is definitely not calico. The person who coined the term calico for silkies used it to refer to splash with autosomal red, NOT miscoloured greys.
