Do all dragons have one?
What are the reasons for knowing hidden colors?
And then, what is "neutral color"?
How do you use this information to battle in the arena?
Is there a list of these anywhere?

Not all dragons have a hidden color. A hidden color is one that you can use to breed that dragon. For example, peacock is pure purple, but you can breed it by combining purple/yellow (in addition to purple/purple and purple/diamond). Another example is kitsune, which is pure pink. You breed it with pink/red though, not red/white like you were breeding virtue. You could also use pink/pink or pink/diamond.

Once you breed the dragon, the hidden color has no effect on future breeding with the dragon. Ex- Peacock only contributes purple. I don't know about the battle arena. I would guess that the hidden color wouldn't have an effect there either, but I might be wrong. I will compile a list of hidden colors.. I don't think there is one. It is a more recent thing by TL though, so the aren't many.

Neutral colors for battle arena are colors that are not strong or weak against the other dragon.

For instance if the other dragon you are fighting is mask, pink and black. Strong colors to use against pink are black and gemstones, weak colors are yellow, purple, mythic. Strong colors against black are green white cosmic and rainbow, weak colors are yellow, pink, fairy tale, gemstone. The colors not listed at all are the neutral colors, which would be: red and blue.

The way you use neutral colors is if you don't have 2 strong colors, you can use one strong color plus one neutral. So if you don't have a double strong black-green hybrid to use against mask, you could use strong black plus neutral red or blue. Or strong green plus neutral red or blue. But if at all possible, you use 2 strong colors - neutrals give you no advantage, they just aren't weak.

[sapphirecross]

There is a list in the battle threads for what colors are strong and weak against every color, neutrals are all colors not listed as either strong or weak, there's no list it's just everything else.

No problem!! Glad I could help. I hope I didn't miss any... Someone should also double check my colors.. I think they are right, but I usually use diamond to get the newer dragons, not the hidden color.

If your IOS, a hidden color will give you that color gem stone when trading.
