    Flames, Blushing, Fading and other markings.

    So, I'm trying to put together a kind of comprehensive guide to BP markings, not morphs but markings, and I'm curious to know how much people use the terms interchangeably or if they're viewed as distinct types of markings since I've seen them used either way in the past. Personally, I at least see Flaming and Blushing as being two distinct things, Blushing is the light colouring found inside the dorsal area of the saddles and the head (like what Pastels and Hypos have) and flaming is the lighter colouring that comes up on the sides of some morphs (like Mojaves and Yellow Bellies), and Fading could be just an overarching term to refer to either. Wondering how many people would agree with that definition.

    Also, I've come up with a list of markings so far but I'm wondering if I'm missing anything. I'm mostly trying to avoid patterns that are associated with making up specific morphs (such as Spider/Pinstripe patterning, that's obvious) but yeah, here''s my list thus far.
    Head markings: Headstamps, Nose/Booger Spots, Shield/Masking, Eyes (Bi-Colour, Heterochromia)
    Dorsal/Body: Dorsal Striping, Rosettes/Alien Heads, Saddles, Graniting/Peppering
    Sides/Belly: White Sides (like on Calicos/Spiders), Washed Out (kind of that faded pattern you see in Silverstreaks and some het. Pied things), Train Tracks (Like on Yellow Bellies and Het. Pieds), Ringer
    Other: Banding, Busy/Reduced Patterns, Blackback (not referring to the actual morph here, just the trait), "Reduced Melanin Patches" (I don't know if there is an actual term for it but I see normals with it from time to time)
