Wings of Fire Fanon Wiki

Even with my short time on the wiki I have encountered a problem, horribly bright colors.

It doesn't make sense for a character to have bright colors! In nature when you see bright colors it's to attract mates or warn predators that they are poisonous. Even in those situations they are used in small amounts. An egregious amount of Skywings are bright orange or red. How many animals can you name that are all red? Cardinals, maybe a few fish and salamanders. Thats not many. And even if an animal is red it's normally an earthen tone. Earthen tones make sense for animals. They allow them to blend in; Allow them to escape predatory animals.Why don't our characters have this trait? Have dragons not cared about being able to survive. Through natural selection it should have favored the ones who could hide. Horrid colors are not limited to reds and oranges, there are many a bright pink or blue dragon on the wiki. Galatheid and Jacaranda are good examples or keeping these colors more neutral. Many rainwings are bright pink, yellow, blue, etc. If you look at flowers they never have extremely bright colors they keep it toned done (with a few exceptions). There are also many pitch-black characters with bright rainbows glittering through their scales. Yikes! It hurts to even glance at a bright red and dark black dragon. If you want nice colors just Google color pallette, and it'll get you some good colors.

To conclude this I have created a nice image to show how much neutralizing colors helps.
