Incomplete dominance - in a showdown for dominance , nobody wind. (Red x white = pink)

CODominance- In a showdown , it ends in a tie. ( red x white = red with white spots) Ex. Sickle Cell Anemia (African ancestry) homozygous

In both codominance and incomplete dominance, both alleles for a trait are dominant. In codominance a heterozygous individual expresses both simultaneously without any blending. An example of codominance is the roan cow which has both red hairs and white hairs. In incomplete dominance a heterozygous individual blends the two traits. An example of incomplete dominance is the pink snapdragon, which receives a red allele and white allele.

Hope this helps!
