What is the name of Heirloom Tomatoes that are supposed to be various colors when they ripen?

We are growing a hybrid Heirloom Tomato that has 4 inch size fruit and I was told that when ripe some would be red, some yellow and I believe, white. I would appreciate any info on this peticular plant.

What is the name of Heirloom Tomatoes that are supposed to be various colors when they ripen?
I'm not sure of a variety that has all those colors on ripe tomatoes. There are several heirlooms that change color as they ripen (from yellow to orange to red) and several have streaks of different colors on the same tomato like Mr. Stripey (Tigerella) and German Johnsons. There are a couple of varieties that have all white tomatoes. You might want to search a couple of good seed catalogs - remember heirlooms are open-pollinated to use that as a search criteria.

I linked a couple of companies that I've ordered heirloom tomatoes from. You might call them and ask (if anyone knows, they will)
