I had a funky tought, but I don't know if it was a good one.
All Skin colors we currently have affect the nose and pawpads, but what if there would also be new skin colors that also affects the skin around the mouth and/or eyes?
Due to mutations like piebald & achromia there is already an overlay of a lighter skin color around the mouth and eyes available.



1 - Normal skin appearance with black skin around eyes & mouth
2 - Half eye & almost full mouth overlay
3 - Full Eye & mouth overlay
4 - Part Eye & Mouth overlay


I suggest releasing new skin variants that also affect these (usually black) areas. I believe they would work great if some wants to make a theme where all colors blend well together, such as:
a ice/winter themed lion with soft blue skin tones
a soft pink themed lion with apricot skin
a purple space lion with Lavender Skin
a red themed lion with a fitting red skin color
a natural design going in a erythristic direction
a plethora of other design ideas that I can't think of

I believe spotted skin colors, such as a similar variant like sandstone or quail could also look nice.
I do not suggest changing any of the current skin colors, but I can see already existing colors being re-released with an eye/mouth expansion under a different name, I would classify this similar like all the re-releases of recolored bases.
Since the inner part of the mouth (tongue) is not affected by any color changing mutation, I'm not sure if it should be affected by this.

Breed-Only, Event-Only or Applicator?
I don't see myself in a position to decide that, but I would like that current breed-only skin colors stay bo. A few common colors could be appliable with the Monkey Business Skin Changer or possibly new event applicators. Others could be released via the raffle lioness, may groupies, dreamboat exclusive NCLs, event NCLs or possibly maneater studs.


I don't know much about coding, but if it's impossible to implement regardless of supports/no-supports, this should be yeeted into the trashcan.
