TOPIC | Deities and their real colors (W.I.P.)
1 2 3 4 5
[b]Edit: Sorry if this is outdated, but I had forgotten about it until somebody pinged me. I'll update with new colors from the color wheel soon. [/b] Every deity has a different profile image because they're a different "breed". The thing is, their listed colors (which have no genes) don't match the colors in their profile picture. They're all wrong. Check this out: [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/1/1_350.png[/img] [img]http://flightrising.com/image_generators/dragonpic2.php?body=52&wing=53&style=10&gender=0&ages=1&prig=0&secg=0&tert=55&elem=1&tertgene=5&spec=prev.png[/img] Eartshaker, stone/slate/brown. His primary seems to be stone, and the slate seems to be his back, but is his beard supposed to be brown? It isn't. I guess maybe his aura is brownish. What it should be: [img]http://flightrising.com/image_generators/dragonpic2.php?body=52&wing=53&style=10&gender=0&ages=1&prig=0&secg=0&tert=54&elem=1&tertgene=5&spec=prev.png[/img] Stone/slate/soil. Just a little change that matches the eyes and the aura better. The dragon gods all have auras of their flight's eye color. [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/1/2_350.png[/img] [img]http://flightrising.com/image_generators/dragonpic2.php?body=48&wing=61&style=10&gender=0&ages=1&prig=0&secg=0&tert=62&elem=11&tertgene=5&spec=prev.png[/img] Flamecaller, fire/maroon/red. Her primary isn't even fire, and I guess it can be considered a maroon, but it seems more like a dark brown to me. I don't see where plain, crayon-red comes into her design either. What it should be: [img]http://flightrising.com/image_generators/dragonpic2.php?body=53&wing=61&style=10&gender=0&ages=1&prig=0&secg=0&tert=46&elem=11&tertgene=5&spec=prev.png[/img] Slate/maroon/sunshine. Colors are an approximation though, since she has colors that we can't use. [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/1/3_350.png[/img] [img]http://flightrising.com/image_generators/dragonpic2.php?body=31&wing=40&style=10&gender=0&ages=1&prig=0&secg=0&tert=30&elem=3&tertgene=5&spec=prev.png[/img] Windsinger, seafoam/spring/aqua. I'm not seeing spring on him anywhere. He's definitely seafoam, and his wind swirly things are aqua, but the only other color I'm spotting on there is his spines, and they look more like jungle. He has other greens on him, but nothing on our color wheel. What it should be: [img]http://flightrising.com/image_generators/dragonpic2.php?body=31&wing=34&style=10&gender=0&ages=1&prig=0&secg=0&tert=30&elem=3&tertgene=5&spec=prev.png[/img] Seafoam/jungle/aqua. It could be Seafoam/aqua/jungle spines if you're making a dragon based off of him, though. [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/1/4_350.png[/img] [img]http://flightrising.com/image_generators/dragonpic2.php?body=21&wing=30&style=10&gender=0&ages=1&prig=0&secg=0&tert=28&elem=4&tertgene=5&spec=prev.png[/img] Tidelord. He always looks so happy. Bubbles, yay! Blue/aqua/caribbean. He does seem blue (more of a cornflower blue though) but that's about it that matches. His secondary looks more like teal on the inside of the wings, and there's no caribbean on him....unless you count his bubbles. What it should be: [img]http://flightrising.com/image_generators/dragonpic2.php?body=21&wing=20&style=10&gender=0&ages=1&prig=0&secg=0&tert=22&elem=4&tertgene=5&spec=prev.png[/img] Blue/navy/splash. Going with the outside of the wings on secondary. [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/1/5_350.png[/img] [img]http://flightrising.com/image_generators/dragonpic2.php?body=12&wing=9&style=10&gender=0&ages=1&prig=0&secg=0&tert=17&elem=7&tertgene=5&spec=prev.png[/img] Shadowbinder, shadow/black/violet. That gloomy aura is violet, so that's correct...but her primary isn't shadow. Her secondary could be considered shadow, at least where we can see the translucency of her wings, but otherwise I'd say it's midnight. Her primary isn't black, it's more charcoal or grey. What it should be: [img]http://flightrising.com/image_generators/dragonpic2.php?body=7&wing=11&style=10&gender=0&ages=1&prig=0&secg=0&tert=17&elem=7&tertgene=5&spec=prev.png[/img] Charcoal/midnight/violet [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/1/6_350.png[/img] [img]http://flightrising.com/image_generators/dragonpic2.php?body=3&wing=23&style=10&gender=0&ages=1&prig=0&secg=0&tert=2&elem=6&tertgene=5&spec=prev.png[/img] Icewarden, ice/sky/white. At least ice is actually his primary. It seems a lot of deities have the color that represents their element, even if it's not part of their actual color scheme. Sky works well enough for his clumps of ice, but there's no white on him. Splash or even blue works better. What it should be: [img]http://flightrising.com/image_generators/dragonpic2.php?body=3&wing=23&style=10&gender=0&ages=1&prig=0&secg=0&tert=24&elem=6&tertgene=5&spec=prev.png[/img] Ice/sky/stonewash. He has a big gradient on his blue parts that goes from ice to blue, so stonewash is kind of in the middle. [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/1/7_350.png[/img] [img]http://flightrising.com/image_generators/dragonpic2.php?body=10&wing=30&style=10&gender=0&ages=1&prig=0&secg=0&tert=29&elem=5&tertgene=5&spec=prev.png[/img] Stormcatcher, obsidian/aqua/teal. Neat colors, and nothing like him. His little zappy pattern (his tert?) is aqua, as is his godly aura, but that's about where the similarity ends. If anything I'd say his colors are the same as Shadowbinder's, except there's aqua instead of violet. Tight range, would breed. What it should be: [img]http://flightrising.com/image_generators/dragonpic2.php?body=7&wing=11&style=10&gender=0&ages=1&prig=0&secg=0&tert=30&elem=5&tertgene=5&spec=prev.png[/img] Charcoal/midnight/aqua. His aura is actually cyan, but that's not an available color on FR's color wheel. [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/1/8_350.png[/img] [img]http://flightrising.com/image_generators/dragonpic2.php?body=46&wing=43&style=10&gender=0&ages=1&prig=0&secg=0&tert=45&elem=8&tertgene=5&spec=prev.png[/img] Good ol' glittermom. Lightweaver, sunshine/banana/gold, and the deity that made me think about how wrong these colors are. There isn't sunshine on her anywhere, so it's another "this is my element so this is the color I'll be listed as". There's no gold either. Banana? Sure. But otherwise the glitter lady is goldenrod. What it should be: [img]http://flightrising.com/image_generators/dragonpic2.php?body=41&wing=43&style=10&gender=0&ages=1&prig=0&secg=0&tert=44&elem=8&tertgene=5&spec=prev.png[/img] Goldenrod/banana/ivory. I know her aura is banana, but she has ivory on the inside of her wings. [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/1/9_350.png[/img] [img]http://flightrising.com/image_generators/dragonpic2.php?body=34&wing=35&style=10&gender=0&ages=1&prig=0&secg=0&tert=38&elem=10&tertgene=5&spec=prev.png[/img] Gladekeeper, jungle/forest/green. Her leaves are green, and her body is forest, but there's no jungle there anywhere. It's a shame because jungle's a nice color. What it should be: [img]http://flightrising.com/image_generators/dragonpic2.php?body=35&wing=38&style=10&gender=0&ages=1&prig=0&secg=0&tert=38&elem=10&tertgene=5&spec=prev.png[/img] Forest/green/green, although the leaves on her are somewhere between green and emerald. [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/1/10_350.png[/img] [img]http://flightrising.com/image_generators/dragonpic2.php?body=60&wing=61&style=10&gender=0&ages=1&prig=0&secg=0&tert=62&elem=2&tertgene=5&spec=prev.png[/img] Plaguebringer, blood/maroon/red. She's almost the same as Flamebringer. Her aura is red, her body is maroon, and there's no blood on her anywhere. The color, I mean. What it should be: [img]http://flightrising.com/image_generators/dragonpic2.php?body=61&wing=54&style=10&gender=0&ages=1&prig=0&secg=0&tert=59&elem=2&tertgene=5&spec=prev.png[/img] Maroon/soil/crimson [img]http://flightrising.com/rendern/350/1/11_350.png[/img] [img]http://flightrising.com/image_generators/dragonpic2.php?body=66&wing=13&style=10&gender=0&ages=1&prig=0&secg=0&tert=2&elem=9&tertgene=5&spec=prev.png[/img] Arcanist, pink/mulberry/white. Not even close. That's okay, Arcanist. You tried. What it should be: [img]http://flightrising.com/image_generators/dragonpic2.php?body=15&wing=17&style=10&gender=0&ages=1&prig=0&secg=0&tert=65&elem=9&tertgene=5&spec=prev.png[/img] Lavender/violet/magenta. Still not completely correct since there's no pale purple like his primary, but close enough. Anyway I wouldn't want to change the colors they all have, but it's kind of interesting to see how much they don't match the official artwork.
Edit: Sorry if this is outdated, but I had forgotten about it until somebody pinged me. I'll update with new colors from the color wheel soon.

Every deity has a different profile image because they're a different "breed". The thing is, their listed colors (which have no genes) don't match the colors in their profile picture. They're all wrong. Check this out:

Eartshaker, stone/slate/brown. His primary seems to be stone, and the slate seems to be his back, but is his beard supposed to be brown? It isn't. I guess maybe his aura is brownish.

hmm. i never really thought that their colors were so off like this. i think the flamecaller is the most off :0

@ActualWildclaw I chose wildclaws because it's what came up when I opened scrying. They're not a bad choice because their primary/secondary/tertiary are distributed well, and you can see their eye color clearly.

I was waiting for this kind of thread. I always kinda bugged me that I just could not see those colors being the official deity colors.

Hm.

I'd change the Shadowbinder's primary to Thistle, the Stormcatcher to Coal, and the Icewarden needs some Storm in there somewhere.

Ooh, this is a very neat idea! Still, I like that we have "official" colours, even if they are weirdly off.

Hmm.
Didn't you know? Those are their real colors; they are all wearing custom skins.

So vain.

@ChocolateChip They're working, and the staff even said they fixed image linking in the forums. Try clearing your cache. @Calidragon I don't think that thistle would fit Shadowbinder. It's too light, and too purple. [img]http://flightrising.com/image_generators/dragonpic2.php?body=14&wing=11&style=10&gender=0&ages=1&prig=0&secg=0&tert=17&elem=7&tertgene=5&spec=prev.png[/img] A lot of these are "well we don't have the exact colors so I'll pick what's close". The artist really should've used the palette we all have to use for our dragons. [img]http://flightrising.com/image_generators/dragonpic2.php?body=8&wing=11&style=10&gender=0&ages=1&prig=0&secg=0&tert=30&elem=5&tertgene=5&spec=prev.png[/img] I didn't pick coal because it's too dark. I understand that there's a hint of blue in that dark grey that the Stormcatcher is, but we don't have that specific color for our color wheel, so I picked a grey that was as close in value as possible. [img]http://flightrising.com/image_generators/dragonpic2.php?body=3&wing=19&style=10&gender=0&ages=1&prig=0&secg=0&tert=23&elem=6&tertgene=5&spec=prev.png[/img] Icy/storm/sky is an alternative on the Icewarden's colors, but I tried to go with the median of a gradient, and storm is the color of the darker parts of his wings. The guy's all gradients though so it's tough, and putting iri/shim on any of these throws off the colors completely.

@AnnieFelis
I have a Charcoal/Midnight/Platinum coatl that I got after I saw a similar thread in the shadow forums. Violet seems a bit dark for her belly, but plat is a bit light, ah well.
