So the other day I was doing my daily Dino Stroll and made sure to visit the pachy posse. I laughed when I got there and exclaimed on voice, "look guys, ALL of them are the same common color!" because what were the odds? Five spawns and they all pick the same 1 out of 2 common colors? (The one that matches my befriended pachy even, on the right with a saddle.)

Except one friend, peering over to look at stream, said "no, that one has a different hat."
"What?" I said.
"Yeah, on the left... no go back... yeah in the middle there. See?"
"I do not see," I admitted, but my friends are not liars and monitor color tuning is notoriously fake. So I squinted really hard, whistled it over, and put it to sleep to check. LO AND BEHOLD: it was the RARE red color, which is so incredibly similar to the COMMON red color that I could barely see it even when I stopped to look.

At one point before I picked out Cerise I was contemplating holding out for said rare-red because wao the cachet of rare instead of common, etc; in the end I dismissed this impulse by checking the wiki for pictures and deciding they looked so similar that it wasn't worth it. Having seen them in the wild, or I guess failed to see them, I am feeling like this was a good call.

Except this time in broad daylight for ideal visibility!
...
Wow that's still way harder to see than it needs to be.

*nodding along* Tiny bit more saturated and probably nudged in the orange direction compared to the common ones heading in the pink direction, looking at it on my drawing tablet (whose Color Incorrection has an artifically detailed red range, strangely enough)

...but yeah, compared to all the other options? Interestingly there's other Cherry vs Orchid dinos and most of those are easier to tell apart: if you display the right palette channels in the right way, all the other colors besides the base red make the difference SUPER obvious! Pachy here does not display those other colors in a distinguishing manner.
