Yep, it's definitely a matter of everyone having different tastes. I tend to like the colors to be on either end of the scale, either bright orange, or totally silver. Seven is in the middle so he just doesn't appeal to my color tastes. Everything else about him is wonderful and with the anerys/snows out of him, the ground color doesn't matter.
This year I'm breeding him back to mom who is a snow het hypo motley, so there should be quite a few amels, anerys, and snows. There's also a bunch of other combinations possible: ghost, snow motley, amel motley, anery motley, hypo motley. I'd like an anery motley (6/64), snow motley (4/64), ghost motley (1/64), or hypo motley (1/64) out of the pairing, so about 1 in 5 or 6 eggs might be one of these. The most important thing is to get a new generation to keep this line going because I love their patterns, sweet attitudes, and feeding responses.
