We describe the effects of the strange quark mass and of color and electric neutrality on the superconducing phases of QCD. We discuss various phases pointing out the corresponding problems, typically arising from a chromomagnetic instability. We show that, at least for particular configurations, the LOFF phase dominates over the gCFL phase, when close to the transition from gCFL to the normal phase.
