For those who can’t join the Biblically Accurate Colorbombs discord but would still like the information provided on there, I have copied the info here for your viewing pleasure! This is also for anyone to read if you’re interested in colorbomb breeding!

Q&A
❤️Q-1: Why don’t Haliotis, hexaplex, or decennial marks count towards making a colorbomb lion?
A: These are just 1 marking with all the colors. Just like Clean breeding, Colorbomb breeding is meant to be a bit of a challenge! And adding an easy marking applicator that has all the colors takes away from the challenge!

If you have a lion that has any of these marks and you aren’t sure if they’re a colorbomb or not, put them into wardrobe and remove these marks! If they still have at least 4 separately visible colors, you’ve got yourself a colorbomb! (See info about colorful bases below)

🧡Q-2: Do colorful bases make a colorbomb?
A: The colorbomb breeding challenge is mainly focused on markings alone because it’s harder to breed/make a lion that has 4-5+ bright and distinct colored markings, and the point of a challenge is to be challenging!
A lot of bases with bright colors are applicators which are easy to get and throw on your lion. (However, bases can help enhance the look of your colorbomb :D)

The general rule of thumb is to add a plain base to your lion (I use Albino) in wardrobe and see if they keep 4-5+ bright colors! If your base contributes one or more of the 4 minimum required colors, then your lion isn’t a true colorbomb, but that’s ok! They’re still beautiful and colorful!

Definitions and general good-to-know info!
💛Colorbomb Definition:

A lion with 4-5+ distinct and different brightly colored markings at high opacities. Haliotis marks, hexaplex marks, and decennial marks do not count.

Difference between “Colorbomb”, “colorful”, and “colorful markings”:

These are three separate terms you will see me use! The most important ones here are “colorbomb” vs “colorful”. The “Colorful markings” distinction is just my own preference for when I sell my own cubs, feel free to adopt the term!

💚A colorbomb is as stated above, but a colorful lion is one that looks more colorful than your average potato, but doesn’t quite meet the criteria for the label of “Colorbomb”. There is no set definition for what makes a “colorful” lion, but it is important to be able to tell the difference, and we can all generally agree on what looks colorful vs ‘this lion just has 1 color’

💙“Colorful markings”: I use these words specifically to refer to a lion that has lots of colorful markings, but overall you can’t see much color- like if the marking on top covers all the others OR if the markings they have are at very low opacities.
These lions have the potential to make colorbombs (with the right pairing) or colorful lions, but aren’t quite in either of those categories themselves.

I hope this guide helps all you color-lovers! Feel free to ask questions and discuss in the thread but please keep it respectful. This definition is a user created definition, but that doesn’t make it invalid. The definition of “clean breeding” is also user-created ✨
