Mine looks a little more shaded, with more of the dark pink along midline shading to a very light pearl pink down towards the belly. Of course, Papercut’s may do the same thing and my monitor is just a bit off. It’s a very nice paint job: the pearl adds a lot, and the contrasting eye and jewel create a lot of pop. Normally I don’t like pink at all: walking by the Barbie aisle at Target makes me want to gag. This dragon is seriously pink, but I like it very much. Go figure! 😛
