There are two true types, Colombain Black and Colombian Gold, there really is no such thing as a Colombian Black and white, the white part was added to confuse them with Argentines when they are being sold. They are the same animals, both Golds and Blacks, they are just a different color phase.

I hope that can help you

Ã?¢Ã?Å?Ã?»The gold tegu, also known as common tegu, black tegu and Columbian tegu, is a species of tegu. Its scientific name Tupinambis teguixin was long believed to apply to the Argentine Black and White Tegu which is now T. merianae

Gold tegus grow to around 80-110 cm with a glossy body, powerful limbs and a thick tail. They have many black and gold stripes down their body. Gold tegus live in the tropical forests of northern and central South America. They feed on insects, invertebrates, small mammals, reptiles and birds,as well as fish. They are also very good pets.
