Single post in Proposal to Rename Albino and Melanistic Pokemon

Hello! I'm glad this proposal is up, personally- I think confusion over colorations could be helped if the Pokemon variants are no longer named after real-world animal traits! I'm a bit of a rock fan, and I'd like to suggest a couple of mineralogy words for alternatives ^^ First up, Luster/Lustre is the term used for the way light interacts with a rock, gem, or mineral! A Lustrous Pokemon is also fun to say imo. I think this could work for either, considering that it's mainly just a word for something that gleams, but probably more so for Albinos? I'm also fond of the word "Schiller" for things that gleam- it's a German word that relates to "play of color" and is used to describe various sorts of iridescence in rocks! The "Schiller effect" is the general term for when light hits surfaces or inclusions within a rock and causes a burst of color :> Similarly, I think it could work for either but the connotation of "hidden color" applies well to the Melans in my opinion. Next, my personal favorite terms but also the mouthfuls- Adularescence and Labradorescence! Adularescence is the term for a milky, soft glow inside a stone, that might move or change visibility depending on how the light hits it. Tiger's eye, rainbow moonstone, and common opals are rocks that exhibit this! It's associated with gentle, soft colors, and a haziness to the glow is common. I think it fits Albino Pokemon perfectly! The word could be shorted to Adul or Adula easily for nicknaming, and it's similar enough to Albino to type that I don't think it would take much adjustment. Labradorescence, meanwhile, is the term for the specific luster labradorite exhibits! Light enters the rock and bounces off a surface inside the rock, like with many sorts of luster, but with Labradorescence you get an incredibly vibrant 'flash' of color that covers a lot of the stone! There's frequently multiple colors within one stone, in a gradient effect. The stone itself tends to be dark, somewhere around gray or black, and the flashes are commonly a shade of blue, but rarer colors are green, orange, red, or purple! Admittedly, this would have fit the "neon rave" Melans a bit better, but I still think the little tastes of bright color in revamped/recent Melans would mesh with this word very well! It could be shortened to Lab or Labra for nicknaming, though the name being what it is, I can foresee some confusion about the Pokemon Lab if the first is commonly used ^^; Finally, words that I feel might work but couldn't write an essay about! There's Chatoyancy, which is generally used for rocks that exhibit a stripe of color like cat's eye does. I think it could be fun for a new Albino term, and could be shorted to Cha. or Chat! Then, there's Metamerism/Metamer, which is a phenomenon across several fields (including mineralogy) where things appear to match in color despite being completely different base colors. I think it might work for Melans, since their dark colors blend well and look cohesive even if they're technically completely different shades. Aura is not a gem-specific word, but I feel it could work for Albinos, and Spectrolite is the term for a rare, high-quality labradorite, so tossing that in the ring for Melans as well! I'd also like to say that I'm a fan of Pastel, Opalescent, and Pearlescent for the Albinos; Obsidian, Umbra, and Tenebros for the Melans; and the Sun/Moon themed pair names (sun/moonkissed, Starlit/Moonlit, Solaria/Lunestra specifically) as a set! I hope my accidental essay on rocks was an okay read as well, lol ^^
