Creates large, colored scales that resemble typical fish scales in shape. When referencing odd shapes, the scales should still be roughly symmetrical down their midline. Each scale can be any color. At least one scale must be visible. They will go on top of anything. Each scale may have its own gradient between two of any colors.
Color Rules
Each scale may have one to two colors. If two colors are used, they must have a smooth gradient. All scales may be different colors. This mark does not need to follow elemental color rules and can be any color.
Layering Rules
Chroma is a Variable Pigment Trait. It can go above or below most markings.
Shape
Chroma may be the shape of any type of fish scale. However, unlike fish scales, they should not fully overlap. The shapes will not combine. If you have the dedication, you may cover the entire dragon in Chroma scales, as long as no other marks are hidden, the Chroma scales do not overlap/are clearly individual marks, and it follows regular layering rules. While it can appear on the ends of horns and extremities, at least one scale shape should be fully visible somewhere on the dragon's body.
Chroma will never be so large that its shape is impossible to see.
Chroma will never be a perfect diamond or circle. The scale 'attachment' areas will alter these shapes.
