Traits

• Dead tongue implies the reanimation of a CCCat for whatever reason
• Any tongue with any color below Saturation and Value of 43% is considered dead, even if some colors are living
• Effects the entirety of the tongue or part of the tongue
• Can be effected by traits that control tongue sheen and pattern

• Old-Gen Tongue allows for dead tongue, but follows different rules.

Old-gen CCCats and CCCat Color ranges

Due to the construction of the lore, some CCCats were made with grayscale, pastel, or out-of-range colors on their tongues and eyes. In lore this means that the CCCat is dead, dying, or revived and without a lore reasoning is considered "Old Gen." You will be allowed to keep the tongue/eye the same to keep the dead colors through subsequent redesigns (though we will ask that the eye and tongue remain similar in theme to avoid mimicking other traits, such as a change from a yellow and white striped tongue to a pure black tongue.) and give them personal lore to explain the colors.

• "Old-Gen" traits cannot be swapped out for other traits.
• Designs will only be granted the “Old-Gen” label if the CCCat has a dead eye or tongue and falls between 1 - 516 for official designs and 1 - 250 for MYO Designs If you have proof of a design outside of this range that was approved December 31, 2017, this is also eligible for Old-Gen if the colors fall out of range.
• Living range of colors is considered to be any color above 43% Saturation and Value on a standard HSB Scale.
• If your CCCat is newer than the above numbers but has a tongue or eye below living range, You may keep the colors only if the tongue or eye does not change at all in subsequent redesigns. Any changes of the tongue and eye, including but not limited to color and markings, will require colors to be brought into the living range. These designs will not be eligible for dead tongue or old-gen classification due to the timing they were created.
