For those interested, the Pap info site has a wonderful coat color tour with excellent pictorial explanations that shows examples of the same in Papillons.

Great site!
Now, to make things confusing: clear sable in an English shepherd often means e/e.
When I read that it makes me crazy . . . . but yeah, I do hear breeders calling e/e dogs clear sable.
Papillon breeders are famous for calling sable and white ‘tricolors’ as well.
I have found nomenclature of colors in different breeds much harder to get a handle on than the genetics.:)
