In a home brew setting I’m currently brewing, young wyrmlings are born grey, and as they grow up and develop, their color changes based on what they treasure. For instance, those that treasure friendships and relationships may become silver dragons, those that treasure conquest become blue dragons, etc…. This is just an idea I had for it.
Edit: This blew up, I’m thinking of expanding this into a post to help me further develop the setting, cause all I have in my home brew setting is two named characters, who don’t even have names, four locations, and a system of the classification of magic items for the world.
The party could encounter an adult Gray Dragon--the first dragon to ever grow up without developing a different color. There could be a quest to find out why.
What the party thinks is depression. The dragon never really felt like they treasured anything. But, they're just vibin, finding beauty in all things, especially the little ones. Probably the most content with life color a dragon can have.
But the party still drags them around to experience all the things that give dragons their color because they think the gray dragon is sad. The dragon does not give anything much attention, they describe how cool things are and moves on. They don't mind getting dragged around, the company is good.
This, of course, frustrates the party so much it's funny.
Typically if a dragon treasures the world or the life of the world, they become a gold dragon. They can really vary in alignment. Think “I treasure the world”. Protecting it could mean being a classic protector who tries to stop world ending events, or it could mean destroying humanity because they are destroying the natural beauty of it. Yes, there is a council of Gold Dragons that meet up every decade or so in various locations to discuss how to protect it.
