All about Confetti kittens: 8 total colors found! update

[Ivy Norsk]

My own overall take on the Confetti Project: once upon a time when KittyCatS started, all was mayhem and a wild mad cuteness and nobody knew what was going on. It was a heady mix of surprising new traits appearing like birthday presents and high auction prices. (I was not here for the beginning - this is only how I imagine it.)
Gradually the KittyCats system was codified and beat into an understandable order through the patient work and dedication of many orderly breeders. Breeders got really good at finding recessive traits almost Instantly: two weeks for initial kittens and time for breedbacks and voila - all was known.

I think Confettis are not only meant to take more boxes out of the market through Menagerie, but meant to re-instill some of that "New Game" scent back into the air. A new system to figure out. And it's harder. Much harder. Because there are some ways in which breeding has gotten easier. So now the odds of success are much lower, and it's going to take experienced breeders to tease it all out.

Edited to respond to Tad: but Confettis could have their own hidden shades that could pass out into the mainstream via non-confetti breeds.
