Genetics are Complicated, in accordance to help iron out the generalizations of word usage and pair those words to visual demonstrations of colors, Kitsufox has worked to create the following images as a live demonstration. If you feel there are any oversights in the work, please contact her with your suggestions.

For the sake of sanity and usability, I have also included Genetic definitions, pertinent documentation links and the Short Description word definitions that are generally used in relation to each color and shade. I've included a number of color words that are generally not used in the short descriptions, so that people will know how I will interpret words I see in descriptions and know why I used a different word or phrase in the short description (the first words on the list are preferred, and the most preferred word that is suitable will be the one selected for use).
