Apparently they were not meant to be purple. There was nothing in the book indicating their color so the first artist to surmise the design created it in purple and since then others have taken it up. But now there are a few hints in the latest books that suggest the colors resemble a more natural colour and patterning to a chequered butterfly [link]

That's what I'm saying. I don't think they were meant to be purple at all!

Just looking at it from Kulingile, he's a golden color, I sincerely doubt a purplish parent would create a golden baby!

Good work, in any case. :3

Feel free to upload any of these images if you want to you might want to double check them for size and other errors though as I have made some already. Someone pointed out my Regal was too small so I painstakingly measured it out so now that image would correctly display 120 feet XD also I missed the horns off the Fleur de Nuit and had to edit that one

No, ever since the first fan pics for the Chequered Nettle depicted it as being Purple, everyone's been copying it. I started this [link] page on the Temeraire Wiki specifically to stop mistakes like this from occuring in future.

Actually no, the first person to draw the Nettle made him purple and everyone copied but no one knew. however in the 6th book there was a cross-breed between a Nettle and a Parnassian which was gold and brown and since none of those are the colours of a Parnassian people have assumed that they are closest to the Nettle's colours. If you read the Temeraire wiki it explains this

Actually people still arn't sure what colour these guys are, all they have to go on is a cross-breed between a Chequered Nettle and a Parnassian which is a sort of gold and brown colour

Ok I get it! Will read through the books again later and will have a note book with me all the time so that I can writh down colors and sizes, bet that will help me remember what breed they are as well. At this point I easally forget and are sitting there asking myself "Is he a courier or a heavy-wight?" and everything gets all mixed up in the head

Yeah, there are a whole bunch of breads to keep apart, but that is also one of the things that make the books so darn good
