Here are the 11 mail colors I found for Dragons...

Black Dragon

Black dragons are thought to be the most evil. They have deceptive ways and are often out only to meet their own needs. They are known as the Plight of the Land, usually, and are loathed by the people they live near. When you think about it, black dragons are like undead dragons, they are considered evil because of the color.

Black is known as a color of evil because it represents night, and in the night you can not see. So, it is clear why black dragons get such a bad reputation. I have not read a story about a good black dragon just yet, but there are some in Pern...rare, though.

For the Dragons of the East, black is a chaotic color. Black Eastern Dragons are said to cause lightning storms when they fight. They are also said to be symbols of the North.


Blue Dragons

Blue dragons live in deserts. They like the desert terrain as they can easily see across their territory. They are very territorial. Brass dragons are the enemy of blue dragons, as they compete for the same type of territories. These dragons prefer to eat herd animals. Their blue scales are polished by the sand, so stay glossy all their life. Their breath weapon is a bolt of lightning. They are about 50 to 100 feet long.

Red Dragons

Due to the color's red symbolic achievements, these dragons can vary. On one hand, the dragon can be passionate and drive for what he or she does. For instance, they may enjoy terrorizing small towns. On the other, they can be a fire-breathing menace that spew blood and hate around the world. Often, these dragons are known to have a bad temperament.

Many dragons in mythology are red, and many of them that are in poems are red, too. Why? Red has several conflicting symbolisms: blood, fire, love, and passion. It is easier to put a face on a creature with one or more of these aspects, yes? Poetic compositions especially exaggerate red.

For Eastern Dragons, Red is the color of chaotic storms. The Red dragons are a symbol of the West, and they cause storms when they fight in the night.

Purple Dragons

Purple has been a sign of royalty for a long time. Probably because the pigment is so hard to achieve. Purple dragons are seldom heard of in stories, but they are classified as the bossy kinds of dragons that place themselves high. Otherwise, they are the goofy ones that try to please others.

White Dragons

White dragons are among the wisest dragons there are. Perhaps because they are associated with the light and righteousness. Though white dragons are considered wise, most stories tell them as evil as well, because they never tell the whole truth.

White dragons are also found in Chinese folklore and such. I remember being told a story about Yin and Yang, and the stories used two dragons to represent it. Yin was black, and Yang was white. The dragons were equals, and they both were needed too keep a peaceful balance in China.

White, for the East, is also a symbol of mourning. White Eastern dragons are said to be an omen of death. Which, mind you, the Chinese did not deem evil. They were symbols of the South.


Green Dragons

Green is an earthly color. Thus, the green dragon is often associated with the world, vegetations, and nature. Some people believe that some green dragons spew acid instead of fire or ice. Also, most green dragons can command forces of nature.

Forces of nature include things like growth, earthquakes, and fluxes in the landscape. Lore is another thing that people have attributed to green dragons; they attract people with earthly tidings and such wondrous things. However, green dragons are often thought of as creatures that gobble up humans.

Gold Dragons

Gold dragons are revered as kings and queens of dragons in most stories. Others hold them as greedy hoarders that will settle for nothing less than gold and gems. When they are kings and queens, they are often good ones, and are fair and proportionate to all dragons.

Gold dragons are often mood less when in public and pleasant as friends. In Pern, they are actually the opposite. They are bossy, dominant, and self-indulgent. They can even be rude to their Weyrmates, too.

Yellow dragons are similar. For the Eastern Dragons, Yellow dragons were the most revered and well-thought of. However, they were secluded and were only seen at "the perfect time".


Silver Dragons

Silver dragons are thought to be very reflective and thoughtful. However, silver dragons are after extremely hoarding and are too occupied with taking and guarding their materials than to share their insight with other dragons. Silver dragons like shiny object of any kind, but especially mirrors.

Another factor of silver dragons is that they seldom leave their cave. They almost always hibernate and hide. Many think that silver dragons are also associated with the internet, which would be quite a sight, watching a grump dragon pounding on a key board!

Brass Dragons

About 30 ft. long, bositerous, loud, and have a tendency for selfishness. Tend to live in dry, arid, and sandy regions Will talk for hours on end, just to hear themselves talk. They have two breath weapons - sleep gas and fear gas. They speak a large number of languages (the better to hear themselves talk).

Bronze Dragons

Bronze dragons, though seldom heard of, hold high ranks among other dragons. Probably the best-known role is in Anne McCaffrey's the Dragon Riders of Pern series in which they are the highest ranking male dragons. Contrary to the Pern series, though, bronze dragons enjoy hoarding as well, though they aren't as much as silver dragons.

Another thing to know about bronze dragons is that they seldom are written of. Why? It is harder to make a character with so little stereotype in the color. Pern also has shaped the dragon in many ways, but, after so much shaping, it only really fits in Pernese stories.

Copper Dragons

Thirty-six feet in length, these dragons live in rocky, mountainous regions. Also basically good, they are extremely fond of wealth, and have a "what's in it for me" attitude. The two breath weapons are acid and a slow gas.
