Least Used Tail Color(s)

[Mermaid Jaffa]

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.

My Scraps mer tail is all neon colors.

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

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

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.

my mertailor tail is black with gold & grey.

I have several white tails, 2 mostly black tails, and quite a few white-black striped tails
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

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

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!

I forgot about this site: https://mermaidtailcollection.wordpress.com/
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.

What color is outside the visible spectrum?

[The Water Phoenix]

I'm not a fan of the neon colours.. They are just not for me. I do like dark colours though

Neon colors are nice. Sometimes.

Though not when all one wants to do is hide in the pool. Then neons become a gigantic beacon to all at the surface!

[The Water Phoenix]

That's nice Since I am tanned, neon colours just won't suit me but they would suit my sister since she's really pale

What color is outside the visible spectrum?

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.

her keyboard broke and that's why she's using numbers instead of letters.
I don't see a lot of pink tails. of course there's a few of them, I had one a few years back, but they're not quite as common as I expected.

Oops! My bad!

I've always wanted to see someone in a 'see thought' or 'not pigmented' tail.
