Mods - do you want to make this a sticky in here?
The only thing I disagree on is the tortie/white vs calico. IMO the calico is a white cat that has patches of red/black vs a tortie-white which is mostly tortie with some white - usually on the face, chest, paws, belly. Otherwise its a good color definition and a very good color predictor at the end
