I've found it called 'split coloured' for lobsters, and I know this often happens in tortie cats and merle dogs especially in the face area (also with white spots, also in other animals with similar coat patterns), but there doesn't seem to be an established name for the phenomenon. But the real question is, are there enough entries to warrant a specific tag? Spotted (pied/patterned) ponies with two colours instead of one colour and white are rare enough on their own.
