OK I should have said only a b/t that carries a red gene and a particolor gene from it's parents or passed down from its parents will give you all four colors. Blenheims can only give you blen, rubies can only give you ruby or blen if it carries the parti gene and tricolors can only give you tricolors or blen if it carries a red gene. ONLY a b/t can give you all four colors.
That said you can get all four colors by breeding a ruby to a tricolor but the ruby has to carry the parti gene and the tricolor has to carry the red gene.
