RGB Base Coat Guide
Each Dinosaur has a specific RGB code! This determines what color the Dino's base coat (including feathers and skin) is based on the following color values: It is also the first thing displayed in a Dinosaur's Genotype.
- R: Red
- G: Green
- B: Blue
Each color has a range from 0-255 that determines the intensity of that specific color. You can find your RGB Code in Photoshop fairly easily using the color tool, or you can search it online and find the exact color!
You can copy and paste your RGB "rgb(xxx,xxx,xxx)", and paste that directly into Google, and it'll show you your RGB! You can screenshot it from there and import it into your art program! (Don't forget to format the RGB code exactly how it appears in your geno, or Google won't give it to you on the first search!)
NOTE: If you have an old geno from DeviantArt, it might have a color written out next to the genes - this color is the base color, and has no affect on the marking colors! Markings use their own color guidelines separate from the base color!

Color Guide
The dinosaur should not have any neon colors unless the dinosaur has a bright dimorphic marking or a color modifier.
This color swatch also applies to keratin!
Markings must be clearly visible somewhere on the body unless they are being completely hidden by another marking or multiple markings (If the color is too subtle to be visible anywhere, you may be asked to modify it).
Markings on your dinosaur do not have to be derived from the base coat color- you are free to use any hue you would like as it is allowed within the rules of the marking! But your marking colors must remain in a natural color range and should not be heavily saturated (see the saturation guide below).
This is a reference for the max saturation we allow for different hues and values. You are not required to pick colors directly from this guide, but you should avoid using colors that are more saturated than these! You are welcome to use any colors that are less saturated.
