Multiple people have recently asked for clarification about what colors were allowed in the Primary and Secondary ranges of Night Warriors so I figured this post was overdue. I will be linking to it on the front page and have updated the second rule in the list to read as follows:
"Night Warriors are generally dark in color, particularly in their primary and secondary ranges. Blacks and dark greys are prized for their camouflage benefits, though dark shades of blue, purple, green, and red can have similar effects. Please see this post for a more complete list of color requirements if you are uncertain about whether or not your hatchling qualifies as a Night Warrior."
This portion of the post will be deleted after a couple of days so that the List looks neater when people go to view it. Everything below this point will be staying.
List of Permitted Colors
Now that more hatchlings are being born in the lighter and brighter ranges of the color wheel, I've been getting a lot of pings asking about which colors qualify for the Night Warrior Project. I decided to make this list to hopefully clear up confusion! You can still ask me if you want to double-check whether a hatchling is too light, but this list can hopefully serve as a good jumping-off point.
There may be dragons in the registry, or that have already been born, who have colors on this list but are still registered, and that is 100% okay. If you own a dragon that doesn't qualify under the colors laid out in this post, it is still a Night Warrior! I won't be disqualifying anyone's dragons retroactively, at any time. This post does apply to hatchlings who are born after the date of this announcement, since it now exists and can be used for color-checking purposes.
For the sake of keeping this post fairly short, I'm only listing the colors that are too light or that are ambiguous in this post. If a color isn't on this list, it is always an acceptable color for a Night Warrior!
The following colors are always
too light for a Night Warrior to have. Having one of these colors as a primary or secondary qualifies the hatchling for registration as an Honorary Brodhuil Caominori at Level 25, but they cannot be registered as Night Warriors.
- Grayscale: Maize-Platinum
- Purples and Blues: Mist, Lavender, Cornflower, Sky, Cyan, Robin
- Greens: Pistachio, Seafoam, Mint, Fern, Mantis, Radioactive, Honeydew, Peridot
- Yellows and Oranges: Honey-Marigold, Sunset, Peach, Cantaloupe
- Browns: Sand, Tan, Beige, Latte
- Reds and Pinks: Brick, Coral, Blush, Cottoncandy, Bubblegum, Rose, Pearl
The following colors are
ambiguous due to the brightening effect that some genes have on their accent shades and their position on the color wheel. It is fine for a Night Warrior to have one of these colors as their primary or secondary, but it must be
paired with a darker, non-ambiguous color. For example, a Shadow/Thistle/X dragon would qualify as a Night Warrior, but a double Thistle dragon would not. Using genes with darkening effects is desirable but not required.
- Grayscale: Silver, Dust
- Purples and Blues: Thistle, Fog, Orchid, Lapis, Splash, Stonewash, Cerulean, Aqua
- Greens: Jade, Algae, Swamp, Green, Chartreuse, Spring
- Yellows and Oranges: Goldenrod, Sunshine, Saffron, Tangerine, Caramel
- Browns: Driftwood, Hickory, Tarnish, Ginger, Brown, Copper
- Reds and Pinks: Tomato, Vermillion, Ruby, Strawberry, Carmine, Watermelon, Pink
