The name for the new dagon color,”Hybrid Emerald Peacock”, is too long. It doesn’t fit on lables, or the order sheets, or in the computer.
I’ve been asking around for ideas of names for the color, but we haven’t come up with anything really perfect for it. I would like a mineral, or something natural that is more descriptive of the green purple and blue colors…but short.
I came up with “Scarab”. Those are beautiful beetles that come in amazing metallic colors. Makes me think of dark cool colors,and symbols of ancient Egypt. I love scarab beetles, but do you just think- “yuck,bugs!!” when you hear that word?
We’ll probably end up with calling them “Hybrid”, but I don’t like that name very much..
Tourmaline? Aquamarine? Abalonie?Neptune? spodimite?
Maybe these should be called “Green Flash”. Sounds like a comic book character.Definitely not ‘Green Flash’…does not sound Windstone like at all!!! Fancy Jasper can be green/blue…Agate can be green or blue, I think…Lapis can be blue with greenish tints…Flourite can be a mix of green & blue…
Scarab would be find by me, but I love anything ancient Egyptian and I like most bugs. I don’t automatically think ‘bug’ when I hear the work scarab anyway….a lot of people might not know what it means anyway…
What about Humming Bird? I saw this photo and it reminded me of the dragon’s coloration ^_^ Especially that so many hummers have that iridescent green to them ^_^
What about the color name of Sapphire Jade? Sapphires come in pretty much every color (except red which is ruby).
Other gemstones that can be green or blue: aquamarine. Or even better a stone that can be blue, green and purple at the same time: the tourmaline, check it out:

That hummingbird does remind me of the new color. I think you’re on to something…

DM came up with “Fauna”,thinking of the earth and growing things, but that means animal life,I think. I like “Aurora”.

yeah I thought of tourmaline, but it isn’t usually the deep colors that this dragon is. I’ve only seen it myself in kinda a pale green and pinkish purple.

I love the name Sapphire, but do these dragons look like Sapphire? Seems they need to be more blue. But then, the dragons we called Emerald aren’t really emerald colored.Good Emeralds are deep green. The Jade dragons weren’t jade colored either- so naming the colors incorrectly is part of our tradition!
