There are Sakura-ogon, which has red and white patterns on its shiny body, Hariwake-ogon, which has gold and silver patterns. In addition, it can be said that the bright patterns are gorgeous among Nishikigoi, such as Kikusui with shining Doitsu-kohaku, Doitsu-yamato-nishiki also called Heisei-nishiki, and Doitsu-Hariwake-ogon.
