Least Used Tail Color(s)

[Mermaid Jaffa]

What the least chosen choice of tail color(s).

Like you only ever seen one or two, and then no more after that.

[AniaR]

I think I've seen a tail in pretty much every colour.

Maybe dont see brown very much but I do see brown blended in.

[Mermaid Jaffa]

Me too! Which is what got me thinking, "Is there a color people never ever want?"

[Merman Storm]

White? Taxi cab yellow? Safety vest orange?

[Mermaid Wesley]

I think red and maybe pink

My tail is "taxi cab yellow" and "safety vest orange".

Black with red polka dots

[TritonsGuard]

Plaid? Camouflage?

I don't really see a point in disparaging other people's tail color choices. Some colors may be less common than others, but why label them "less popular"? Why give certain colors unflattering judgmental names? Opinions are like assholes, everyone has one and everyone's is different but it's best not to shove them in other people's faces.

[Mermaid Alea]

I think I have only seen one neon green tail.

less popular just means there arent many of them. I was looking for less popular colors a while ago because i wanted to be different, but ultimately went for classic blue. i dont think this is meant to be pejorative.

[Theobromine]

I don't think it was MEANT to be pejorative but that's how it came across, and I know I wasn't the only one who felt that way, guys.

[Little_Orca]

On a personal level, I am not one for colors that are in the warm spectrum (reds, oranges, yellows), especially if they are on me. That being said, there are -ALWAYS- exceptions to that, it just depends on how well the tail was made or how well the paint job was. I also do not mind warm colors if they are used as accents on tails (spoiler, my merbella tail may contain trace amounts of yellow as I gave Raven a visual chart of colors I was okay with and only had about 80% of the tail finalized and I told her that yellow in small amounts would be ok, so my tail is as much a surprise to me as it will be anyone else!).

I have seen some BEAUTIFUL tails in all the colors I do not prefer and I have been in awe of them.

I do think that tails that are brown, however, tend to be less favorable by me as a whole. I've seen some that are done with copper on it as well and it looks lovely, but not my cup of tea.

White tails, to me, can be wonderful if done right, but they are often cloth or are too see through... I suppose my biggest thing I hate in tails, especially cloth ones, is when you can see swim-suits through them. (hence why I sometimes wear leggings under my cloth tails, especially when they get older. ;) )

Sorry! Maybe I should've titled it, least used colors.

How do you decide the colors of your dream tail without some person going, "It looks like so and so's tail!"???

[Mermaid Alea]

Good question. I think that while it is good to look at other people's tails for inspiration, you shouldn't look at other tails too much because then you might accidentally use someones exact color scheme or design because it got stuck in your head. Also, you just have to keep on designing until you feel like you have gotten to a really good place that is all unique to you. For example, I have at least 20 different tail design concepts I have gone through and my taste and color palette has already changed a ton since starting my concepts. What has really helped me is making a mood board to get a good visual representation of colors and designs I want on a tail.

The other day I took a photo of a Merbella tail and changed the colors a lot in photoshop to see what kind of interesting results would come of it. What happened is I got some very unique color combos that I would have never thought of, and combos I have never seen before. So playing around with layer styles and color mixing in photoshop is also very helpful to get inspired.

See, your tail in your avatar is a perfect example of my point. Your tail looks ROCKIN on you, on me though? It's not my thing. :)

[Ashe]

Correct me if I'm missing something... but when has 'less popular' ever immediately meant ugly or due for disregard? Tail colors that aren't common are not as popular as colors that are used often. It's synonymous, and having a tail in a less popular color does not mean that anyone is disregarding your colors. They just aren't common. I'd take it as a compliment, I for one love unique tails.

Anyways, to answer the question I don't see greyscale tails very often. I've seen a couple of shark tails that look fantastic, and Mal's tail is silver.
Earthy tones are common in nature but not in tails. Browns, earthy greens, tans, etc.

I'd love to see more neon/phosphorescent/glow in the dark tails!

I never said they were ugly choices of colors. I meant least popular as in a color that's not thought of often. There is nothing wrong with "safety vest orange" or "taxi cab yellow". I have both those colors on my Scraps Mermaid Tail too! I really don't mind it at all, I call it my, Hi Vis Tail. The tail body part is a very bright inyourface neon pink! When I was sewing on the fluke, I had to close the blinds because the glare was hurting my eyes! It was like staring into the sun!

Oh, I know you didn't mean any harm. I was defending this thread. It just seemed like a couple of people may have gotten the wrong idea about it, is all :) Anyways, I won't get into it. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion.

Thank you for that! I honestly don't know how people are getting the wrong idea about my question. I wasn't trying to be rude or mean. Maybe I should've spent the day thinking on how to word it properly before posting it, but that was all I could think of.

Exactly, Kalani. I tried to make that point in my post, but I am not sure it came across. *rubs the back of her neck.*

[Calizaire]

I don't think I've ever seen a tail I didn't like. For sure some not my style, we all have our own preferences. But I just adore everyone's tail; they're out there swimming in mermaid tails, fuck yes, how rad is that?!!

Some mentioned above I love.
I don't recall her name but there's a mer here with a red tail and red hair and she's pictured swimming in her auto signature; I think it looks effing bad donkey!
And I looooooove white tails! I was seriously considering iridescent white for my tail but I knew it would get grungy fast.

Jaffa, did you start this thread because you were looking to come up with a more unusual or unique idea for a tail for yourself?
I fancy myself as pretty artsy fartsy, but I didn't design my tail. I left it to an artist I knew could come up with something better than I could. Yes yes, I gave her all my favorite colors and a bit on what kind of mermaid I am, and she did the rest! And yes, yes, my color scheme is quite cliche, (Blue, Aqua, Coral) but they ARE my favorite colors.
My closet is filled with clothes those colors, my bedroom, my house, even my office! I feel GOOD when they are on me or around me so cliche be damned, that's what I want!
Jaffa, get what YOU want.
Eff everyone else. :)

[Theobromine]

...I don't think I got the wrong idea. I was simply pointing out the negative-sounding tone of some of the original post and some of the comments. Word choice matters, people. Please don't try to tell me that "less common" and "less popular" are equivalent terms, because they certainly aren't. "Less popular" has a more negative connotation; i.e. it sounds mildly derogatory. I'm not claiming that this was the INTENT of the original post, I am pointing out that this is how language works. Furthermore, several other comments were made describing certain colors with adjectives that made them sound less than complimentary, which in turn offended someone whose exact tail colors had just been described with negative-sounding language. Do you see what I'm getting at? Please consider your word choices a little more carefully, because while certain terms may seem completely innocuous to you, they may sound very negative to others. Especially in this context; for most of us here, our tails are so enormously representative of our inner selves that seeing their colors being joked about or described negatively can feel like a real slap in the face.

As for the ACTUAL intent of the original post in this thread...Jaffa, I know you didn't mean any harm. I THINK you only meant to start a discussion of some unusual colors that aren't chosen for tails very often and what colors would be interesting to see on tails more often. However, it did honestly sound like more of a "hey, what are some tail colors that are so icky and unpopular almost no one wants them?!" I feel it's important to point out this distinction not to make you feel bad, but just to make you a little more aware of it in the future. If anyone else thinks I'm being too nitpicky, maybe consider the fact that if you weren't one of the people offended by the "unpopular tail colors" chat, you may need to be a little more sensitive to the feelings of those who WERE, rather than denying anyone else's right to feel offended. Waving off someone's concerns over negative language as a silly miscommunication is dismissive and insulting.

And with regard to the subsequent question of "how do you decide the colors of your dream tail without going 'it looks like so and so's tail'" well....just pick your dream colors and call it good. If it's your dream tail, then it should only be based on what YOU want. Design it yourself, be creative, don't copy anyone, look to nature for inspiration, add some unique personal touches, etc. etc. I feel like this is a separate discussion from "unusual tail colors". Colors come in an infinite spectrum, with an infinite number of different shades and an infinite number of possible combinations. Think of just how many fish species exist and the incredible array of colors and patterns they display. I highly doubt it is possible to run out of options.

[Mermaid Jaffa]

Thanks Calizaire!

All the colors I want and love, have been done so many times!

Which is why I thought maybe there is a color nobody likes, that I could have. :lol:

My warddrobe is all flowers, or plain shirts with floral embroidery, rose printed skirts etc. I love bright colors of flowers.

Hmm. Does Merrowfins do flower tails? Hahaha!

[New York Mermaid]

I think its based on personal preference, While some may not like yellow or orange, I've seen some beautiful colored tails in yellow and orange. I personally don't like super loud colors, but that's me. Im attracted to blues and certain purples hues, probably because I associate them with "calm" colors.

Im not too fond of greens and reds (however one of my mersisters in my pod has a beautiful red/purple tail) I dislike singular gold tails personally, I don't know why, I feel like its too plain for me. but that's me. I love very well blended tails, I am not too fond of really cartoony tails. but Like I said personal preference.

[Winged Mermaid]

Sorry! Maybe I should've titled it, least used colors.

I changed it for you :) I can see the points people were making about the language used, but hopefully this thread can move forward onto the original topic now that it's settled!

[Mermaid Jaffa]

Thanks Iona!

[Winged Mermaid]

I will say I don't see as many white tails as a lot of the other colors. I personally can see a good reason why, the tail being washed out in photos in the sunlight (like my skin, which photographers constantly moan about it throwing off their white balance, tee hee). Brown as well, although brown is more commonly used to accent other warmer colors. Neon colors tend to be more popular with kids than with adults.

With silicone tails specifically, pastel tails aren't as common. Mostly because people want their tails to really pop in the water. Also because pastels take a LOT of paint layers to become opaque. I'd seen some tail makers to pastel colors without enough layers and they were a bit transparent. Sometimes all those layers can lessen the details of the molds as well, depending the painting process used (like if the silicone was pigmented underneath the tail, or the use of a proper primer for the job, ect). But those I have seen are quite beautiful :)

[Luna Dreamtide]

I was going to say white also. I absolutely love the idea of shimmery, pearlescent white tails but I'd worry a little about how much dirt and grime might show up.
Other than that - I'm not sure I've seen many black tails which could be really cool!

[Merman Storm]

My tail is "taxi cab yellow" and "safety vest orange".
I was thinking solid, not a pretty blend as you have.

There aren't a lot, though Meridan has one. She let me try it on once actually. As Iona predicted, the image is a little saturated with all the whiteness, cause I am super pale.

[Mermaid Momo]

I don't really see that many neon tails outside of kids.

Usually of adults get neon tails the neon color is used as an accent instead of ti coat the entire tail.

Also black tails aren't that used. The only one I've seen is the lady gaga one.

Meridian ALSO has a brown/copper tail and it's gorgeous on her hair and skin. When I first saw it not on her I was like "uhhhhhh why?" But now I've seen it in action and it's beautiful. It looks really natural on her. I'm blonde and have warm/ pink undertones in my skin so that color of tail wouldn't work for me, but when it works damn does it work.

I saw a black tail used in a fashion video and she was striking. I think it was a Mertailor.

[Sherielle]

I would love to have a black tail. Or an iridescent white tail.

[HamptonsMermaid]

I think the term that wouldn't bother anyone is "rare." What colors are rare to see in a tail? I don't think I've seen a pure white tail. My guess is that white might be more see through, so while it's a nice color (I'm all about winter white! And anytime whitel,) it's not a practical one.

I also notice that many mermen tend to lean towards greys, blacks and more earthy tones. Of course many choose bright colors too, but it seems they also choose natural colors more often then mermaids do.

It's also not often that I see a really red tail. Women usually love to wear red (the red dress, red bikini, and red lipstick have very intense feminine symbolism), so it's interesting that red is not common in tails. My theory is that mermaiding brings out the softer more girly feminine side, so pinks and bright flowery colors are often go tos. Though I would love to see a sexy vavoom Jessica Rabbit style tail!

It seems there is consensus that blue is one of the most common colors. I think most of us mermaids always love blue because it is the color of the ocean. It's one of my favorites for sure! But I wouldn't choose it for a tail because I see blue tails have a tendency to disappear into the blue of the water in photos. The contrast of pinks and oranges against the big blue is more dynamic.

[Merman Apollo]

my mertailor tail is black with gold & grey.

[Echidna]

I have several white tails, 2 mostly black tails, and quite a few white-black striped tails :D
It's true you don't see many of those.

I've also never seen anyone besides me who was a watersnake (with no fluke), so I guess I made all the unpopular choices :lol:

[Mermaid Alea]

I saw your new tail on the Mertailor's facebook. Nice design I thought it was a very striking looking merman tail! :)

[MerChemi]

I think the only colour of tail I haven't seen yet is solid skin-colour
I mean blended waists and stuff are pretty popular, but I'm talking the same skin-colour from waist to fluke tips.
But I think it could definitely look killer if done right

In the future, I think I'd really want an iridescent black tail

Hahaa! I was thinking of a skin color tail but skin color is difficult to match. I saw skin tone lycra at Remnant warehouse, but it was too light for my skin. Then on the next page, they had, flesh tone and it was too dark!

It is useful for seeing lots of different tails and you can search them by color, etc.

You're right, that is a rarity. I've seen a few fabric ones (maybe like 3 I think?). I've seen few latex ones too, but they weren't swimmable - they were full body suits (I guess they were fetish images, that was way back in the Seatails days). But no silicone ones that I've seen for sure.

Infrared and ultraviolet are colors outside of humans' visible spectrum.

Using colors outside the visible spectrum won't make the tail invisible. It would be the color of the substrate, so in the case of Dragonskin, it would be a milky whitish.

Also, using numbers in the place of letters is incredibly annoying. Save that shit for Twitter.

It's been my experience that neon colors look best on people with deeper skin tones. Pale people are overpowered by neon/flourescent colors.

I wonder if anyone's made a purposely camouflaged tail. I know some blue tails accidentally blend into the water, but I imagine if you were amazing at picking fabrics, painting your tail, and found a crazy talented photographer you could look like a floating torso. That would be very interesting

[Ashton]

I have seen camo spandex fabric used for a tail. I cant recall who made it.

[MermaidRaegan]

All of my tails are black, though they are accented with other colors on the fluke. I've found that black has a tendency to 'erase' details; you can see my scale patterns in most pictures, so it just looks like a flat black surface. Plus side! Dirt doesn't show up all that much on my tail, which is nice. My cats' fur on the other hand....

Ive seen a few white tails, and I always adore them! I haven't seen many pink of pastel tails, but if I remember correctly Momo is making a tail with both that looks gorgeous.

Rare colors for mermaid tails:
Silver: I've only seen one all silver tail. Even as an accent it's pretty rare.
Brown and bronze: I'd love to see brown as the main color instead of an accent.
Yellow: most go for gold instead of yellow, but yellow really pops in the water. Think of the yellow tang!
Muted yellow-green: common on real life fish, not so much in mermaids.

Other people have already mentioned these colors, but brown and silver TOGETHER would be quite unique. I think then you would end up having more of a freshwater (fish) look.

Update: I have decided on flowers!

Apart from pre-made tails that I have bought, all of my homemade tails have some sort of flowers printed on them. That's what my "tail colors" will be.

[BlueCorvidae]

It seems like people go for blue tails less often all for the reasoning that it's "too popular" lol. Blue is my favorite color though and definitely the base color for my dream tail.

[Mermaid Chloe-Marie]

I think blue blends in too much with the water, though I think it is much more striking on land.

[UnicornMermaid]

Yeah I've heard that blue and green tails don't photograph so well underwater because they blend with the water.

I wish there were more black tails available! Unfortunately most black tails look one-dimensional underwater but I think black looks so amazing and majestic.

I wish there were more black tails available! Unfortunately most black tails look one-dimensional underwater but I think black looks so amazing and majestic.

At the same time though, blue is the last color to fade from distance in the water. After about 20 or so feet, red turns to black, and the more distance you add, so do all of the other colors. Then again I'm also bias and just love my blue a lot, lol.

[Mermaid Chloe-Marie]

I will say, though I don't like how blue "blends" with the water, there is something...deeper to that. Almost like you become one with the ocean, if you will.

I've always have leaned more towards the darker greens and black tails myself. Currently my only tail is black and dark grey but I have been thinking of trying finfun' s tail creating program.

I live for blue and black in my mermaid look, but I don't own a solid blue tail just yet!

Oddly enough, the colors that most folks avoid as they're "too common" end up being some of the rarer type!

My green tail looks magical in surface shoots and the blue and green is amazing underwater. The black tail hasn't been used for much else than my short videos, but it tends to look a bit flat.
