all agouti (tabby hairs) - are layered in colours - ticking is different and doesn't express itself in any pattern - more a mottling across the coat. Try this link - half way down is a picture of the different banding on hair compared to the tabby pattern, It explains in pictures what would take pages for me to explain in writing.

You see Storm isn't that dark, he is black along his spine all the way to the tip of his tail and it fades down his sides into silver. He has a black smudge down his face but not a full black face either.
