Just a tiny suggestion.

I think it would be beneficial to the userbase and the special base market if theres was some sort of DISTINCTION between the special bases instead of lumping them all under the same special umbrella. Anyone who's been here long enough knows that not all special are created equal. That is to say, not all specials pass in the same manner.

I think we should make a distinction be specials like Fulvous, Slate, Amber, Buttercream, and Goldenrod
and the colloquially called special-specials: Sunset, Sepia, Kimanjano, Mandarin, Skyward, ect.

In particular, I think the special-specials should be called Exclusives.

So for example:

Kimanjano - Gold/Dark/Countershaded/Exclusive
Fulvous - Gold/Dark/Countershaded/Special

There would be no mechanic chane. Only an aesthetic one.

If you disagree, please say why!
