A new tri-color (or I guess bi-color; think calico cats) mutation that you can only get if both Piebald and patches roll on the same cub (not really sure if this can happen, but I mean it probably could maybe?).

It layers one on top of the other, either depending on which rolled first or randomly (I don't know exactly how stuff works :/ ).

When breeding a tri-color parent, there aren't any increased odds for tri-color cubs unless you're breeding to a piebald, patches, or tri-color lion. Basically if you're breeding a tri-color to a non-mutated lion, to get a tri-color cub, it would still need to roll both piebald and patches on the same cub.

When breeding a tri-color parent, every tri-color cub will have the same layering. Breeding to a lion with the opposite layering (I was originally thinking the same pie and patches, but reversed order, but it might be better if it was just any of each in the opposite order), instead of doing productive things, will cancel it out. There'd be a very slight increase in the odds of an achromatic or melanistic cub, but no tri-color odds (and no piebald/patches either).

(see the neat thing about this is all the art already exists, it just needs to be layered)
