Hello! I'm back with another question-topic. I've read multiple tutorials around the forum (thanks to all the people who take the time to make such guides, y'all are a blessing), but I am still torn apart by what is now popular on the market.

I've been thinking of using some applicators that I've grinded from this event to customise my king (such as changing his entire base, and mane and adding some neat markings as the color palettes open for this event are cool af). I am aware that the February event colors are quite popular as they come once per year, but I am not sure how popular are they still.

Currently, I've had my eyes on Blush Rose colors as I know that even through breeding, they are quite liked and considered "rare", but Merlot is definitely up on my list. Sadly, I've found little to no info on how liked/desirable is the Merlot color for breeding and selling cubs later on. (Also, how is Blush Rose more desirable than other bases such as Cotton Candy and Merlot which are more expensive?)

What is some advice from you? What shall I pick?
