(Anon with the purple/blackish ranged dragon here The dragon is Mulberry/Midnight/Rose)
I will have to go back and double check :D Since I am pretty sure that it is like stained, the color underneath will change the color we see...
Just tried it and it seems to be one of those colors that can be either Yellow OR green. It looks like a yellow that is heavily tinted with green to me now that I have actually looked at it for more than two seconds.
Ah, thanks, Mine has a purple/darkish prim/tert so that probably made it look greenish to me (plus, I noped out quickly of that image :P)
Mini-rant ahead
This is one reason I would love the gene variants to become a thing. There are a lot of good gene ideas out there, but, especially lately it seems, Staff seems to love pairing odd colors with the main color, which can ruin the entire look.
Like the rose with yellow highlights? Pink with yellow? Sure, some people might like it, but I would prefer a deeper red, or even a purple or blue. I tend to prefer colors that are more mono-chromatic, such as blues with purples or greens, and not necessarily deep blue with a neon green.
As it is, when I saw how my progen looked, I was excited, it looked like glass (my progen is blue/storm/blue with freckle/iri, for anyone who wants to see it). I loved it. Then I tried it on a few other dragons, and as said, either they had those weird highlight colors which completely ruined the gene because it never matched the rest of the colors (I rarely have doubles or triples outside of fodder breeders, so a lot of my dragons have vastly different colors), or I just couldn't see it (tried a triple white iri/shim and a double white with ice tert, and couldn't really see a difference on them).
So it was a disappointing blow to me. I might try my other dragons, and I am pretty sure I will get it for my progen (and may see if different genes make a huge difference in the impression it gives me), but ultimately? I feel this is going to be another gene that I go 'nice concept, but I wish the execution had been different'.

(Anonymous) 2022-09-04 01:45 pm (UTC)(link)Good niche gene, but I'll be sticking with stained for 99% of scries that need this kind of tert.
Wish it were a baldwin gene instead. Tired of shiny = gem

Like Rose. I have a purple/blackish range dragon with a rose tert. It adds an ugly greenish hue to the dragon *whines*
