The slate blue undercoat and rich orange intermediate ring are clearly shown in the photograph. Note that the width of the undercoat and the intermediate ring are approximately the same width. The balanced band width is not in the Rex standard but is a desirable characteristic. If the intermediate ring is narrow and lacks balance with the undercoat the overall color will not be a not appear as bright. The pictures also appear to show a fault of heavy black top. This is, in part, due to the lighting used for the photographs.

The pictures below show both the white and tan belly. Note in the lower picture the blue undercoat is evident.
