I suppose the worry I have for Obsidian and its ilk (yeah, including my own damn suggestion in that) is that it might still set the expectation that there's vividity in the color scheme that may not exist? After all, that's what set this discussion off in the first place, that the melans aren't as vibrant as they used to be, and Obsidian is quite vibrant in certain cuts, sorta like an oil slick

Black is the most common color of obsidian. However, it can also be brown, tan, or green. Rarely, obsidian can be blue, red, orange, or yellow. I don't know about ya'll but this sounds exactly like the current color scheme of melans right now. I don't know what you're gonna find that literally fits the descriptions of almost all of the melans they've been making lol I think Obsidian is a really good bet since it allows the usage of other colors, but also implies that they will be darker in stature maybe with some brighter highlights.

My thoughts exactly when I suggested it! Yes, perhaps the names Melan and Albino don't need changed, and nobody will ever be able to please everyone, as is life... but you are on the money more or less. If melan had to be anything else, Obsidian just feels right, as it's about as literal as it gets for thr color combination I feel!
