This is a scape to show of when colour swings wend BADLY wrong for you.

I'm starting a project with colours that should look like this with all the traits showing:

The generated sylesti had these colours (I did edit it so they are all 6vis males)

I'll admit that 2 and 3 aren't as bad as 1, but if you look at the colour of their legs it makes me want to cry. I think this is solid proof that pure black has a much bigger colour swing than colours.

This was the color I was aiming for....and this is the result.

I was using a regular essence, yes, but I wouldn't call this even "fairly accurate".
