boy, do i have some dragons for this.

back when i was trying to breed for these two, there were only 2 other (exalted) pistachio/pistachio/beige dragons ever! 2 years later and we're up to 25, but 15 of those are either the pair themselves or their direct descendants, and a different 15 are not exalted. much less popular than a matchy XXY in a trendy color seems likely to be!

this pair is another i had quite a time breeding for - there's only 7 pistachio/peach/aqua dragons in total, and the other 5 are exalted (3 of those were dragons i used to breed these two or their siblings, too).

pistachio/buttercup/sand is another that took a pretty decent chunk of time to achieve - these two took quite a minute to get, but they were worth it! they're also the only 2 unexalted, and only 6 in total have existed.

my most recent challenge is one of the only ones not involving pistachio, and only has 7 in total, 3 (including my pair) unexalted, and 6 were bred by me trying to get this combo on an imp - antique/beige/algae! these two took a good year to breed, but i love them.

My favourite thing is to find rare colour combinations. There are not other dragons on site with these colours. I didn't check exalted though.

two of my personal faves are melie and arthur. it took me months just to breed some dragons in the right ranges let alone narrow down until i had two unrelated dragons to breed for twins like the insane person i am. so now there have been 16 dragons on the site with these colours (ginger/bronze/sapphire) and of them, 15 were part of my project: two, their parents; three, their unnecessary nestmates; and the other ten are extended family who were useless to me bc of the five generation thing (and i kept hatching boys when all i needed was a girl to breed ONE of those boys with lol). got there in the end tho!

a lot of my fandragon projects are like that tbh. i'll find some colours and they're super random and hard to get. sometimes i get lucky, but usually it's breeding heck for me.

then there's feldspar. he might be a failed scatter project? i wanted him to be earthy colours but he wanted to be a fairy. when he hit on pear (my weaknessssss) i couldn't say no and it turns out? the only dragon in these colours. ig i can understand, they're not like... classic pretty. but i think he's baby.

Most of my breeding projects were/are for combinations that are hard to find. He is currently the only one with his colours: [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/60838737][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/608388/60838737_350.png[/img][/url] There are two now, but she is older: [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/46379918][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/463800/46379918_350.png[/img][/url] This is one of my current breeding projects: [img]https://www1.flightrising.com/dgen/preview/dragon?age=1&body=108&bodygene=23&breed=13&element=10&eyetype=0&gender=1&tert=74&tertgene=10&winggene=22&wings=9&auth=21a5e6ebc7626fb9b2433057c0a01fd9cffb5886&dummyext=prev.png[/img] There is one living dragon with that colour combi, but it is a G1 in an inactive den. I was going for something different when I bred this guy, but I fell in love with him. He used to be the only one with his combination, but there are still only three.

[outfit=1173480] So I scry up this PERFECT MATCH for one of the skins I own right! Wonderful, I can't wait to get a dragon like this and have them in my lair! Well turns out NOT ONE dark red/ dark red/dark green dragon exists in the auction house. OF ANY BREED. the entire lower half of the red and green ranges is just NOWHERE to be seen [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/60662837][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/avatars/606629/60662837.png[/img][/url][url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/63475275][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/avatars/634753/63475275.png[/img][/url][url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/68897423][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/avatars/688975/68897423.png[/img][/url] I've been sorting through listings since mid 2020 and these are all the closest matches I could get, the first of which has been in my lair for so long that I just adopted him as a perma and no longer plan to breed him, so I'll have to find another dragon to work with.

I like to check out how uncommon my XYZ gen ones are color wise, just for fun! I was pretty surprised to learn that my scarecrow dragon, Maize, is the only one of her colors on the site currently! There was only one other to ever exist and they were exalted. [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/66520352][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/665204/66520352_350.png[/img][/url] Which is surprising to me cause I thought her colors were really nice! Same goes for my OC based girl, Quincy! Only one with her colors on site, only other one to ever exist was exalted. Not too surprised with her as I get the swamp tert would turn most people away, but it was perfect for her as she's based on the Fallout games! [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/63284087][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/632841/63284087_350.png[/img][/url] This derg has actually a really cool color combo that only three dragons have ever had. I think their colors work super well together, it's a shame there's not more out there! (They're not finished yet, showing their plans to show off how their colors work) [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/66076148][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/dgen/dressing-room/scry?sdid=1405210&skin=0&apparel=10963,14886,12191,28796,28397&xt=dressing.png[/img][/url] And then this girl is the ONLY dragon with her colors, even including exalted. No other dragon has ever had her combo, she's the only one! Which is crazy, cause stained makes her GORGEOUS! Honestly if I had a mate for her I'd be tempted to breed and get more of this combo out there. [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/66071260][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/660713/66071260_350.png[/img][/url] There's obviously quite a few XYZ combos that are uncommon or "rare", as those combos haven't been bred for too much, if at all, yet! I personally find a lot of fun in making unusual color combos work.

This might just be my newbie-ness, but I found this boy yesterday and immediately fell in love: [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/69220541][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/692206/69220541_350.png[/img][/url] He's Flint/Moon/Driftwood and I know the colours shouldn't work, but somehow they just... do? Just checked, and he's one of 18 total dragons / 4 non-exalted, and the only one not starving.
