Hi I was just wondering why the name got changed from Russett to Red Flame?? I liked Russett and now it taking time to get used to Red Flame.
You mean on the the Curlie?
I changed the name because I realised that we have a paint color called “russet”.
The red curlie wasn’t painted with it.
I didn’t want to name the curl dragon color after a paint color that the dragon WASN’T painted with.
“Red flame” is the name I was trying to fit a color to, with the first test painted curlie that I showed in my gallery. That was one of my versions of “red flame”, but because it wasn’t quite right, I wanted to call it something else, so I called it “russet” at first…not thinking that we would ever sell these… oh, it is too confusing.
I like Olympia’s “red” paint job better.
This is not quite the same thing as the “Red Gold” of the Secret Keeper. It is more bright red, like ruby, but with fiery gold and orange.
We need a name for this newer red color that isn’t confusing.. I will post a picture of it soon as I get one, maybe on Monday.
