There are three main base coat colors in Realm of Volucris. While you are allowed to deviate slightly from these sliders, we recommend that you stay in them to avoid using a color that is not allowed. Overall, the basecoats should be warm in color. Cool tones are reserved for other color mutations. The fullbody sliders are simply demonstrations of color range, not examples of allowed nuance.
You are allowed to add in gradients and other nuances to your designs to make them look less flat and more unique. However, these must be subtle enough to not resemble markings. Nuances must not be mistaken for shading and must be fully blended. No shading is allowed on the import; remember that the import must be a reference sheet first and foremost.
