It is SO unreasonably hard to use a gene with White that doesn't dull it down or make it some variant of gray. I want WHITE. Like, Crystal/Facet and Metallic/Alloy should give me a beautiful sparkly shiny pure white. And yet!!!

Why! It's the worst with fandragons imo. If you need white in the design you are out of luck my friend. [/quote] gosh don't get me wrong I love white on my dragons and all but I'm coming back to third this just because I cannot stand the horrible clashy grays it gets stuck with as an accent on most genes, and then you throw in that the horns/antlers of the dragon are BEIGE on most genes which sticks out like a sore thumb next to the monochrome and I find myself going a lil crazy every time I notice it genes like cinder/blaze or sphinx/hawkmoth do it a lot of favors by adding in the beautifully contrasting almost-black gray and a lil bit of minty green, but most of my white dragons are basic just cause seeing the middling ugly gray on a lot of genes turns me off of using any more interesting genes at all THIS sparks joy: [img]https://www1.flightrising.com/dgen/preview/dragon?age=1&body=2&bodygene=213&breed=13&element=8&eyetype=0&gender=0&tert=3&tertgene=0&winggene=213&wings=2&auth=6d2bbf442131222bee2e546dab6d5a382ced14eb&dummyext=prev.png[/img] THIS does not: [img]https://www1.flightrising.com/dgen/preview/dragon?age=1&body=2&bodygene=10&breed=13&element=8&eyetype=0&gender=0&tert=3&tertgene=0&winggene=5&wings=2&auth=e22328d2d11e52430f8220743c1ccde911c84370&dummyext=prev.png[/img]

I have a problem with the entire brown range.

I mean some of the colors are okay and they of course have their place, but WHY did it have to be between the oranges and the reds, two ranges I love to work with?

STORM. it has been the bane of my existence for, forever.

I don’t HATE Brick but if I had to pick one I hate… I’d pick Brick.

Every single time I’ve gotten or seen a g1 with it, it ruins it. It’s such a desaturated rusty color that I struggle to make other colors match with it.

*Breathes deeply*

Moss. I've seen so many would-be pretty G1's ruined by this putrid color. >:(

White. i hate having to work with white. it has no accenting colors and it's so hard for me to find a gene with white primary/secondary. but now im collecting basic gened g1s with white as one of the colors so the best gene for white is no gene lol [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/91516976][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/915170/91516976_350.png[/img][/url] [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/87193346][img]https://www1.flightrising.com/rendern/350/871934/87193346_350.png[/img][/url]

thistle, because it comes in the middle of the purples but it's an ugly gray. I do enjoy thistle flaunt/flair, but nearly every other gene is no thanks. one of my OG dragons (key lore figure, sentimental, etc.) is [url=https://www1.flightrising.com/dragon/76686052]wisteria/thistle/twilight[/url]. a while back I decided she needed a glowup and tried to scry her and it was like impossible - her colors are all purple range but they all want to do something completely different. I ended up treating her to a skin & outfit revamp instead. [quote name="Claudiaan" date="2024-02-18 17:10:56" ] Robin. I've had too many potential breeding projects ruined when I get that colour out of nowhere. It doesn't look bad on its own, but I don't really think it looks good when its paired with a super bright purple and green. [/quote] had to scry this post for fun. maybe it's just my baby boa bias, but I think they're adorable [img]https://www1.flightrising.com/dgen/preview/dragon?age=0&body=99&bodygene=240&breed=24&element=7&eyetype=0&gender=1&tert=114&tertgene=218&winggene=259&wings=32&auth=b230c5fedd3712e24527e53bef1ac1189659dce7&dummyext=prev.png[/img] ----- edit: I also wanted to chime in re: white to me, white is the absolute poster child for basic-is-valid. white basic prim/sec is my preferred move most of the time. however, it does have some nice accent options as well: [img]https://www1.flightrising.com/dgen/preview/dragon?age=1&body=2&bodygene=251&breed=24&element=9&eyetype=12&gender=0&tert=2&tertgene=0&winggene=251&wings=2&auth=c75456fa3f6c938433751f34368c1b6fc9293a04&dummyext=prev.png[/img] [img]https://www1.flightrising.com/dgen/preview/dragon?age=1&body=2&bodygene=0&breed=12&element=9&eyetype=12&gender=0&tert=2&tertgene=0&winggene=58&wings=2&auth=b008532b6802bc9800076b46403081687795a2a4&dummyext=prev.png[/img] [img]https://www1.flightrising.com/dgen/preview/dragon?age=1&body=2&bodygene=213&breed=15&element=5&eyetype=12&gender=1&tert=2&tertgene=0&winggene=237&wings=2&auth=0a6f4c2f75e3bde6d02c7992994fff8ac8f07bb9&dummyext=prev.png[/img] ^ I know cinder was already pointed out, but it goes SO well with chrys/mal

tbh..... indigo. i'm not a fan of how dark it is whilst also being rly saturated - i feel like a lot of the blues on the fr color wheel end up being too bright for my eyes ><"

Honey and amber can stay far away from me and my dragons.

Cerise. I hate it because it is an ugly shade of red. No help from genes, nothing saves it. Scatterscroll is the only way.
