Everyone loves a matchy dragon, but IMO the challenge of taking three different colors and making them work together in cool, fun ways is a big part of what keeps me buying dragons (and hatching G1s lol.)
Just to start off the thread, here's some my current triple colored babes!
Lethe, an obsidian/sunshine/tomato girl I picked up off the auction house ages ago. So long, in fact, that I don't actually remember her price. She started off as a banescale, became an abberation, and almost got turned into a sandsurge before I took a hard look through the new set of abber genes and realized how stunning she looked with her current set.

She's now one of my most distinctive dragons, I think, and I'm really pleased with her.
Then there's Yatai, a tarnish/charcoal/gold combo who's probably a bit too subdued for most people's tastes, but I love her. She my was one of the first G1s I had who I knew would really work as a snurge.

I like to imagine her as the mysterious librarian type.
Well, that's enough about me, what about the rest of you? Do you love XYZs, or just have a problem accidentally scrying up those fodder tier G1s into something you find yourself driven to obtain IRL? I think they're an interesting challenge, and I'd love to see what other folks have done.

I adore a good x/y/z, especially one that is colors that dont seem like they'd be matchy but with the right genes look really nice. here are a few of my faves.

Silver/Robin/Beige:) I bought her for about... 250g? I think. I was looking for a dragon with a beige tert that also looked good with seraph so I could have a pretty seraph & beige fishbone combo to go with the skin I bought! She just happened to be a G1 when I picked her up.

Aaaand sapphire/cyan/mauve! She was my NotN project that I dumped a bunch of gem genes on lol. I'm not a big G1 collector but I really liked my bestie's hatch so I bought her off him ahaha

Getting crazy colors to work together feels a bit like succeeding at a jigsaw puzzle, I think, you feel a real sense of victory once you find a way to make it all fit into something cool.
You have a nice variety of favs there - of them, I think Phosphorus is my favorite - he's all nice and bright! But Igneel is a close second, just due to how subtle his tert is: I didn't realize he was fully gened until I saw his bio (and very cool sketch BTW, you really got the banescale look with how you drew the head.)
@harv I'm really impressed at that complex combo. Fishbone is is one of the few snadsurge genes I kind of pulled away from due to how busy it tends to make the dragon. A 250G well spent!
And oh my gosh, Astrodyne's colors are so intense! Absolutely mire flier material, that's a girl with a sprite that deserves to be stared at, for sure.
@Achaius You've got a really cool bogsneak with Juridical! Bogs don't seem to be super popular, so seeing one with colors that are so unusual, but so well executed, is really neat. A clever and lovely use of some fairly common apparel pieces, too. Learned sage and counselor both go hard.

Lethe has such an interesting appearance and a really cool range of colors working together. Very pretty! Yatai gets cooler the more I look at them. I really like the golden glow on the feet being accented by the spots on Sailfish, it's very eye-catching.
The two from my lair that come to mind are:

My lair is full of XYZs - in fact, I do my best to avoid 'too matchy' colors or XXX/XXY/XYX/etc. (not counting fandragons). I just love when it looks kinda weird, and I tend to buy cheap/adopt dragons wirh weird color combinations only to change their genes and to make it work
