Clean or Dirty?

In a similar vein, I tend to like "reduced" patterns versus "busy" patterns. (Though I won't necessarily turn down an animal that's super bright and clean, but "busy" :D)

To me, that's the fun of ball morph breeding: Identify what you like, and breed for that!

No lol,

Here are some examples

Dirty: http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/foru...ight=Bumblebee

Clean: http://www.faunaclassifieds.com/foru...d.php?t=218510

Lol, I agree with the clean ones. I think I just like my bumblebees dirty.

Also agree with depending on the morph... However, one of my top favorite morphs are the Pewter Bee's.. The dirtier the better!

not into the darker genes like cinny or black pastel
the cleaner, the brighter, the better

"Clean" means nice crisp lines surrounding the pattern with little to no dark speckling along the sides and belly.

"Dirty" will have lots of dark speckling or "noise" throughout the pattern and base colors and the pattern lines may be less distinctive.

Personally, I'm almost always drawn to the clean look. Like has been mentioned by others, I don't tend to find myself attracted to morphs and combos that intentionally dirty up the pattern, like granites or shatters. I also don't like many of the typical paradoxes for the same reason...they just look dirty and it's not attractive to me just because it's unusual. (although I have seen a few instances of extremely attractive paradox combos, these are not the typical paradox albino)

Clean :D

I like them clean, here's one of my pastel lessers, the whole clutch came out with the patterns all about the same.

Clean, clean, clean! I like clean and bright, usually with a more reduced pattern.
