...And by that, I mean I'm changing Doc's quills/hair tendrils from jade and tourmaline, to cobalt and sapphire! Since rolling out Peridoc's futa form, I've received a trickle of comments that the jade-colored hair in hir reference sheet looks like seaweed, so I've been thinking of other colors that might be conducive to hir color palette. Doc already has silver scales, black silicate horns, and amethyst eye markings, so that restricts the palette of colors that would complement the palette; jade is considered complementary to amethyst, which is why I had originally picked it, similar to how Doc's horns provide a stark contrast to hir lighter scales. But of course, there are always analogous and neutral colors that can pair well with amethyst, so I decided to throw several colors off the cuff and see what people thought!

To that end, I had recently run a poll asking people on Discord what hair color they'd prefer to see Canon Doc and Peridoc with, collecting 47 votes in total. The results were 6 for iron-gray, 8 for jade-green, 9 for amethyst-purple, 11 for ruby-red, and 13 for sapphire-blue. It's rather funny to think of, but apparently the two opposite colors (ruby and sapphire) ended up being the winners, much like how the mouth types I had polled ended up giving me opposite results. Anywho, I have now updated literally every image in my FA gallery featuring Doc's soft, pliable, cryptocrystalline quills to reflect this color change!

Have fun gawking at my royal blue hair!~
