Guys I have heard that a white shows the most dominance when you see multiple Tom's  but is this true. Which color of the head shows the most dominance red, white or blue.

I think it has more to do with mood than dominance. I read somewhere that red shows more when there angry and the closer they get to a willing hen the whiter it gets. If thats the case then the dominant one would be the one close to the hen with a white head.

IMO I would say white head equals dominance in most cases based on the fact that i have seen a good number of gobblers with white heads take charge when with a lot of red heads.

I've noticed the same thing.
If I had a dollar for every gobbler I thought I fooled I'd be well off!
