The New Colours!

[Ana]

No news on Tumblr or anything when the new color wheel should be finished?

[Varethyn]

I don't use Tumblr or Twitter or anything like that sadly. I don't imagine it'll be too much longer based on what Undel said in the first post of the thread:

Our engineering team has been working on new tools to help us generate and implement genes in a much faster and more efficient manner that does not sacrifice the image and color quality we've come to value as part of our site's style. These tools are being developed to make future gene implementation much easier, but also come with the added benefit of allowing us to expand our color wheel without also increasing artist workload exponentially.

We are currently working on converting our existing breed art templates into ones that will be compatible with our new tools. Every time we finish 10, we will be revealing a color. Some will be old, some will be new.

To answer your questions:
We are intending to only expand the color wheel once, as we would like to minimize the disruption to player's breeding ranges.
New colors will go between existing colors on the wheel so that they are in places that make sense for their range. We will not reshuffle the wheel, and your ranges will remain close to the same, but expanded.
Example: If you had a Rose to Magenta range, you're not suddenly going to have a green in there. It will be more pinks.
New colors will ONLY be able to be bred, hatched, and scattered for.
To remain fair to all of our players, only the original 67 colors will be available during account registration and new dragon creation.

It's possible all the new colour templates are already finished. Whether they are or not though there's no known ETA for their implementation.

New colour: Brick

[Lupen202]

AND Undel just announced they're making even more colors than originally thought! They shifted the graph today with the addition of rust. So now there looks to definitely be more purples and more pinks to mention a few; it looks like we're getting around 90 new colors total!

More colors are good!!!! Looking forward to see when its done.

I think terracotta looks a bit out of place... in the middle of the red range colors..

[Varethyn]

Thanks for that Lupen I hadn't gotten to check that thread the last couple days. I'll get the images edited and added to the OP.

Agreeing with you Tarn, Terracotta looks to me like it should go after carrot. It's too orange to be where it is now imo. The name "metals" bothers me too. I don't like that it's plural.

Two more colours, Ruby and Hickory:

[Ana]

Uhh RUBY!! Ohh i LOOOVE LOOOVE that one!! And i agree with you Varethyn.. Metals sound weird as a color

[zedxrgal]

Blackberry!! Sorry I'm excited because I like this color.
I wish that they images didn't have that red border around them though. Kind of distorts the color.

[Vephriel]

Eee, more purples!

[Varethyn]

Hey now, you're putting me out of a job

Edited and added to the OP

[zedxrgal]

[Makoes]
