Did you know? Male calico cats are very rare!
Why?
Calico cats, unlike say the Siamese, are not a breed but rather a genetic disorder of sorts. In the cat world, fur color is a gender-specific trait related to chromosomes. Female cats possess dual sets of X chromosomes, which means they are capable of showing combinations of orange and black -- the colors that are associated with the aforementioned chromosome. Males usually only have one set of the chromosome, so in the rare instance when a tom cat has two of them, he too can enjoy a beautiful calico coat.

C (Possesive)
F (Possesive)
m (Recessive)

Recessive are genes that are carried, but don't show through. (The recessive gene would be the male gene (m).)
Possesive are genes that are carried, and are shown on the physical body.

If both Male and Female have the Calico Gene...

There is a 0.3% chance to get a male, AND calico male.

This is cute! I really like the way the pattern overlaps.

I like this one!

One suggestion: Soften the transition from the black to the other colors. Maybe a very slight wobbly halo around the black with 20 or 30% opacity like this one by Fawnpi. Or maybe a spotty or furry transition at full opacity like this one by tigressa. There are lots of ways to soften it, but it would take the focus off of the clash of colors and allow the eye to flow more naturally around the piece. I LIKE the colors you chose, by the way, I love a good contrast. <3
