So I brought this up in another thread and was encouraged to make a new topic about it.

I think the site could use some more colorfills and the color scheme for Saherimos is absolutely stunning and would look so beautiful on pets. This could just be a simple colorfill, no need to get a fancy redraw colored all thought out.

I mean, just look at these colors!

So what do you guys think? Any other colors that would be awesome as a colorfill?

Bhakoru's are already saheric colored, though. As are Noktoas and Neelas. It's what sets them as Saheric pets. You can't have a basic recolor of the other pets because of those three. Saheric is already their basic color.

I'd like to see this, but has a point about Bhakorus and Neelas (not so much Noktoas, I think). I'm not really sure what could be done to get around the fact that they're already using this color palette.

I guess that's one of the dangers of making "common" a completely different color for each species.

We can have pastel without getting in the saheric color scheme

But yes. We need color alternatives that are more subdued.

It would also allow the other basic colors to be more consistent and less varied in shades. Lilac, namely, is a massive offender of pets that are bright purple, purple, lilac or lavender. Too much variation. Especially things like the Aeanoid.

A pastel purple color could actually include the current Lilac Manchu, Chai and Donadak, namely.

Same with a pastel green and field. The Kora, Donadak and Bovyne are not on the same level as the Tigrean or the Swampie.

Dusk has less massive offenders, but we could have a pastel blue color that is not with the same accents as saheric. It doesn't have to be matched with purple and cream.

I've always loved the idea of a dulled or pastel color for pets. I'd even be happy if it was just a colorfill really o3o

I'm happy for more Saheric themed things, whether it's a pet colour or more wearable items, haha.

This latest set of wizard items has definitely made me fall in the love with the colour scheme.

I get that Bhakoru and the Neela have Saheric colour schemes, but if we got a Saheric colourfill maybe those pets could have like reversed or inversed colours for the colourfill..?

I'd love this.

That said, while I don't necessarily think it has to be saheric color schemed because we already have pets whose common color scheme is saheric, an overall muted color scheme for pets that's common would be nice though.

Just because the Archan, Noktoa, Neela and Bhakoru are from the Sacred Lands, their common colours are simply brighter shades of the Saheric palette as seen in the items listed by .

This is a really quick rough idea of what Saheric could look like. Just make it an ombre effect, and it pretty much could be our Eventide colour.

There's lots of other Saheric items that have a more subdued palette to them.

I don't see why this colour doesn't deserve to exist.

I have no idea where you get that they don't represent the colors show in the OP, because they definitely do. The blue is the color of the saheric sands, the purple is in there, the yellows. You basically just created a gradient, of which none of the basic recolors are, and is unlikely to become one any time soon.

The 3 pets in question (4 since the Archan also hails from SL) all share a similar palette to the items listed; brighter shades. But the items are much darker and have that gradient/ombre' look.

Just because none of the current basic colours have a gradient effect, why not offer one then? Saheric is a popular suggestion as of late, and Rah has said on her tumblr she'd love to provide a pastel-like basic colour.

Obviously I only spent 1 minute in making something, but I'm certain our artists could easily offer up a better interpretation.

I really like this idea. I love the Saheric color pallete. I don't see why having the Bhakoru and Neela with similar colors would make this not possible. We already have some common pets that are really similar to their recolors (Dusk Chelon, Dawn Charlie, Gold Endeavor, just to name a few), so they can make small color changes for the Bhakoru and Neela too. Not making a new color just because two common pets have a similar palette seems like a waste to me.

I totally support this idea. As pointed out, we have plenty of example of where common looks a LOT like a refill color, so I don't see why Bhakoru and the Neela should stop this. Plus, I would really like to see this color be more gradient like. It would make it different from other refills in that way, but without the need for a pose change.

Slightly darker shades =/= completely separate color palate. To create a Saheric color would completely leave out the Bhakoru and the Neela, and to a slightly lesser extent the Noktoa. And as I said, as NONE of the basic recolors are gradients, making ONE a gradient is unlikely. I would be alright with a gradient semi special basic recolor, like the Nuclear pets, but not in Saheric colors, because there are two pets that are literally saheric colors already.

Now, I don't have anything against pastel. But Saheric themed already has two full pets of that color, and one pet that's similar. All basic recolors need to be applicable to all pets, not just most. All.

i can't really get behind the "recolors cannot be similar to the common scheme of even a single species" argument, because that would nullify a lot of pets that are already in existance. turns out there's quite a few species who have a recolor that is very very similar, if not nearly identical, to their common color. and at the risk of being "that guy," i actually threw together a quick list of examples:

aeanoid/swampie/rreign: common vs field endeavor: common vs gold hipottu/torrent: common vs sun kumos/lain/kanis/telenine/mortiking: common vs dusk magnus: common vs lilac

so with that argument in mind, we may as well just get rid of dusk, because it seems to overlap with an awful lot of common colors. if someone was allowed to justify making a gold endeavor that i can't tell apart from the common, then i don't see how we should void a saheric color based on the bhakoru/neela.

and while i like the idea of pastel in general, it just seems too general. you can get pastel of any hue, but with saheric as a specific color palette, we'll see pets with similar blue/pink/tan/white hues. and while normally i wouldn't mind variation, recolors tend to have a lot of uniformity to them (all dusk pets are blue, regardless of shade, etc) and it would seem a bit weird to just have that ONE recolor where one pet can be teal and another can be orange. i dunno, maybe that's just me.

so i find myself leaning more toward saheric than just a general "pastel." both accomplish the same aesthetic, but saheric has more definite guidelines for a unified color across all species.

So because the Tigrean is naturally red, we'll never get an actual red colourfill, right? Your logic is vapid beyond enjoyment.

Perhaps my interpretation of Saheric as a colourfill is not what anyone would like to see--if I could set aside some time, I'd make a better example--but imo, the Neela and Bhakoru have a more pastel-like palette than a Saheric colourfill probably would. Your little diagram only points out some of the similar colours between the two pets and the items.

You're completely missing the broad picture here.

No, I'm not. What's being asked for in half of the suggestion is literally the color palate of two already existing species. This isn't the same as one color of the pet being similar to a color scheme of one of the basic recolors. This is literally the same color palate.

Until someone provides an actual example of what they are talking about that is apparently so different from the Neela and the Bhakoru, I will continue to give no support.

Perhaps I'm misunderstanding this as well. Do you have more examples for and I to understand?

All the basic recolors have a color palate used, not just one single color. Asking for a saheric color is asking for the blue, pinks, and yellows uses in that color palate, a palate that the bhakoru and the neela already have. They can't be recolored into saheric, because they already have that color palate, because the sacred lands is where they come from. That's the whole reason they have those colors.

[I]That[/i] is why I don't support saheric as a basic recolor. Because the entire color palate not just one color is already the default for two pets, and slightly for a third.

This is a color that I'd personally love to see but my understanding of the issue would be how to color the Bhakoru and Neela Saheric in order to differentiate them from their Common counterparts. I think 's idea to have them done in reversed colors (I understood that as location reversal, so like a mostly tan Bhakoru with the pale blue and pale purple swapped) might work easily enough.

I would love this, love this, especially if it had a gradient effect like the example posted.

I do understand what you're saying, but I think there are workarounds. The common Swampie shares a color scheme with many field pets (olive green/lighter green with goldish-brown eyes), so the field Swampie has darker, more vibrant emerald greens. The only real difference between the common Endeavor (golden brown/bright yellow with matching eyes) and many golden pets is that the latter look shinier, so the artists gave the golden Endeavor pale shades instead.

The Saheric items already released have gradient color schemes, so all they'd have to do is pick different shades/hues from the spectrum. Or switch around the existing color scheme on the Bhakoru and Neela, as has been mentioned. Or make the color itself a gradient. This is a beautiful palette that already has themed items and it's a damn shame to only have it available on two pets (I'm not counting the Noktoa) that barely anyone even owns.
