There's two very specific color combos I'm after, and I'm still somewhat lost on color ranges. :'D To be honest, I'd prefer not to breed these myself. I'd much rather just buy them from someone, or have someone else breed them. But, just in case I do decide to hatch them myself, I thought I'd ask.
Girl number one:

Shadow/Aqua/Caribbean. There's only 34 active dragons with those colors and none with those genes.
Girl number two, the real life ruiner:

Wildclaw female, Royal/Mulberry Blood. There are zero active Wildclaws with that color combination, let alone with that color and gene combo. There's only ever been four Wildclaws with those colors and all four are exalted.
So, my question is: what parental colors would I pick to breed these girls into existence? If I was gonna breed them, or if I was gonna pay someone else to breed them, I'd want parents with ranges that are as close as I can get, so I could get my babies with as few nestings as possible.
(And as an aside, if you have dragons that could breed these girls into existence... ping me?)

@AyalaAtreides Wow, that Mirror is cool! You'd be looking for colors near to those on the color wheel.

So for instance, to get the right colors on your Mirror, you could breed something with, say, Midnight/Aqua/Teal with a dragon that has Shadow/Aqua/Azure to get decent chances. Or you could go one color at a time and get a dragon with Shadow/blue-range/blue-range, then breed that with more Shadow/blue-range/blue-range until you get what you want. Ask around in Dragons Wanted, or check hatcheries, for things with ranges close to that. Make sure you say you're fine with breeding pairs or someone breeding them for you.

@
Leopardmask Ah, thanks! So, basically, if I pick parents whose colors are on both sides of the colors I want, I'd have pretty good chances?

Here's my advice for using the Auction House.
Let's say you're going for the Wildclaw female.
When looking through the auction house, start with the exact primary color, which is Royal, and select the exact primary gene, Iridescent. Also check off the 'Circuit' gene for the tert. Then search for dragons that are Royal/Mulberry. If you can't find any Royal/Mulberry with the right tert color or gene, then go one above or below Mulberry, which can either be Shadow or Thistle. Keep repeating this process until you find the dragon you want. If it turns out that you don't have any Royal/shade of purple dragons in existence with iri/x/circuit, then change the primary color to one color above or below (Storm or Violet) until you find what you need.
When you're searching, make sure you:
1. Don't type in the exact colors you want. Select 2 colors close to the range you want, and see if you can find a dragon with a circuit tert close to red.
2. Prioritize what genes you want. The reason I told you to check off iri and circ in the above paragraph but not stripes was because it's easier to breed stripes into a dragon than it is to breed iri or circ. If you find a dragon with the perfect color combination but totally wrong genes, you'll have almost no chance of breeding a Wildclaw with the exact combination of genes you want. Iri and circ are rare, so don't worry about finding a dragon with shimmer as a secondary. You can easily breed that out.
3. Go with general as a rule of thumb, not specifics. The more you can sift through, the better. Would you rather look through a lot of dragons and find something that is close enough to what you were looking that you can breed the dragon you want or or sift through a select few dragons and come out empty-handed?
Hope this helps!

These two hatchies (one male, one female) are in the AH right now for relatively cheap treasure prices:

They are both Shadow/Aqua for Primary and Secondary, but their terts are Royal and Teal. There are about 12 color chances for the tertiary; all the colors in between plus royal and teal. Carribean would be the color right next to Teal, so there's an about 1/12th of a chance to get it. :D At least you have the primaries and secondaries set so those you don't have to worry about.
Once you get the colors you want,, there's the option of using breed change and gene scrolls. All of the genes you listed above are treasure, and a mirror scroll only costs 42.5k ^_^

Very close, but wrong secondary and tert isn't very close either. Will definitely get you a red-ranged dragon if you breed with dragon with red-ranged tert, though.

I don't recommend her because she is an imperial. If you breed her with a WC you'll get more imperials. Right colors, though.

Might be a good Wildclaw because she's closer to red than the other 2 Coatls. [b]If you breed her with the Coatls mentioned previously you will not get a red dragon since Stone is before red on the color wheel in relation to orange and yellow. [/b]

@
AyalaAtreides Exactly! Whatever colors the parents are, the hatchlings have equal chance of being any color between those colors, including the ones on the parents themselves, on the wheel.
Hold has described how you might go about finding these dragons much better than I have - I don't have much experience with that part of color searching.
