Colour Tokens and Colour selection

So.. we already know i'm insane and want to breed the growler rainbow. And Kiley kindly got me a colour token which is gonna make this all a breeze now.

I just have a few questions concerning use of the colour token.

Firstly, can I use the same token more than once a season if I add the recharge cost into the extra breeding?
Secondly, and more curiously, I want to know if we are purely selecting the colour or are we selecting the genetic display as well or instead of?

In example, I want a red growler next season. I can use my token to get a red outcome from an rRyybB x rRyybB couple (if i'm working that out right)
However, if I select red, does that automatically force me to have the RRyybb growler outcome?
Or am I allowed to have rRyybb and be red? (since there is only red genetic in there..)

Because when looking at the wiki listed by colour, all rR wyrms seem to be listed under pink, when I can see at least 3 examples which are not pink but are red and sport rR as a gene. (Is this a fluke? Anomaly? Just creative decision? idk)
Am I allowed to be that specific with my choice as to say 'Red with rRyybb' or is my choice of rR going to always force me to be pink?

And say that I can pick rRyybb and be red, in future can I then also pick rRyybb and ask for pink instead?


Sorry it's a very lengthy question but I tried to find written info about it and failed to find it. Thanks!

You can only use one charge per token and we don't allow recharges until after the season (though I think she is going to be selling tokens on black friday, not sure)

as for colors, you can only request a color that is genetically possible between the parents. For example if you breed two reds you can't ask for a blue. And you are picking the genetics so I am pretty sure what you decide is what shows and whats on the card. as for rR I am pretty sure its meant to be pink.

Fair enough for the tokens.

I think anyone who would ask for blue from red parents needs to read more.

I'm aware rR is meant to be pink but there are some discrepancies in that which is why I am asking for clarification. It would be nice if I did get to select red for rR but I am prepared to accept it would be only red for RR if those 3 discrepancies (they are clearly, visually NOT pink, while being listed as pink) were purely artistic flair or other reasoning I am not allowed to know about. More clarification from the head honcho if time permits, please :)

There are a few generation 1 wyrms that have rR that are red, rather than pink. There was some concern early on that too many RR/YY/BB would result in a lot of brown babies, so there are a few that got red with rR. Generally, as of right now, we stick to rR being pink, and RR being red. yY is light yellow, YY is yellow. bB is light blue, BB is darker blue.
