Crested fire, flame and harlequin

What's the difference in the flames fires and harlequins? They all look similar to me.

well, i always assumed that fire and flame were the same thing, basically you got whatever base color, then a lighter dorsal pattern in contrast to that. harlequins technically have more intense patterning reaching further down onto the limbs and such. all the terms are pretty much used interchangably by a lot of sellers. most often, you see harlequins sold as those with the brown/rust base color, then orange dorsally and some on the sides/limbs.

ok. thanks that helped a lot. i have a female that is light gray with bright orange on the sides and limbs and has bright orange on the back and head with some white on the top. it was sold to me as a fire.
