I spent some time thinking about why the melan sawsbuck line feels so shiny-like to me, and I realized it is because I associate it with Shiny Houndour. I am probably comparing apples and oranges here, but I realized that the similarities to shiny houndour are probably what makes it feel like shinies for me. The darker shade of the Shiny Houndour (rgb(58,90,156)) is very close to the generic blue of melan Sawsbuck (rgb(64, 99, 163)) I understand that the melans are based on the albinos, but I really do wonder why it has been opted to pick this shade of blue for the melans, and not a darker one. I think that tuning down the brightness of the blue and making it darker will definitely help with the feel, but I am not an artist so my knowledge on this is admittedly very limited.
