Someone had wanted a tail colored like their character, but their character was a really light blue which is not one of the colors I can get, so there was the idea to mix blue and aluminum and maybe it would be close enough?

Kind of. I think it looks cool, but it doesn't look like a solid color really. Turns out there's only a certain set of colors available, and if you are really set on a certain color it's hard to make you happy.

Anyway, classes are done! Now time to finish up some paperwork, graduate, and find a job.
