Roy, it sure looks to me like it has some tricolor in it, I say some cause it's missing a couple of things I see almost always. I'm gonna quote a description from great book on Vandas by David L. Grove. Then you can look at yours better than I can and decide.
"Description: Vanda tricolor is a large plant with very attractive flowers and several varieties,the most influential of which, so far as hybridizing is concerned, is the variety suavis, whcih comes from east Java and Bali. In horticultural circles, the latter variety for many years was concidered to be and independent species.
The inflorescences on the varietysuavis are 25 cm (10 in) or longer and are slightly arching. Ordinarily they bear 6-12 very fragrant flowers measuring about 5-8 cm (2-3 in) vertically and having good substance. The sepals and petals are rather narrow at their base, have rolled back edges, and bend backwards against the ovary. The petals often are almost completely twisted around to the horizontal. The background color may be creamy white, yellowish, or pale mauve, with reddish brown or reddish purple spots, which may be bright or dull. The lip is magenta purple with radiating white stripes at the base of the midlobe. The pedicels are quite long in relation to flower size, which produces a very open arrangement of the flowers".
He goes on to talk about another important variety,planilabris mentioning that it has a lot of variety in color.
If you love vandas get this book. I highly recommend it.....If you don't love vandas then I just typed a bunch of info for nothing LOL
