Show me your Stained dragons and convince me it's a good gene! At present I have only one Stained derg (there is another but I'm changing his tert so he doesn't count), and I only love her because the gene doesn't really alter her primary and secondary colors much.

My main gripe with Stained is it feels like a lie. It's a nice effect, of course, I can't disagree, but I'm so hung up on the fact that I feel duped by it. I click to look at a sale dragon that looks nice and it's just because it's got Stained. Excuse me?! But it's a dumb hang up! So please show me your beautiful Stained derbgerns so I can learn to love and appreciate it!

no reason to feel duped, the stained gene is as much a part of the dragon as any other gene! :D
that said, this here is my fave stained derg:

stained works really well on white prims/secs!

I actually don't care that much for stained. Too often when I see before and afters where the dragon is this beautiful vibrant color now a muted, less pretty dragon.
That said, it does have its uses and I do like some applications:

My feelings with Stained is that it's expensive for such a small effect. However, I somehow really loved it on this gen one and ended up buying it! I think I need to learn how to appreciate it as well.

I have a few Stained dragons and I'm more than a bit obsessed.

Aisling is my latest obsession, but her mate was one of the first Stained dragons I ever bought.

One of the things I like about it is how it lends an interesting sort of tint to some dragons--especially when it comes to making outfits.

Once this guy gets the Summer Swelter it's over.

I am also not a fan of Stained in general (these are my only permas with it currently and I only kept both because they're twins from a 2-egg nest and I had the perfect names for them) but I found that one of my favourite combos ever is Python/Bee/a very saturated Stained. Here's ddifferent scry:

Mint/Copper/Orchid. You'd never think these three colours would work together, but...

I absolutely adore stained, it makes some lovely colours.
My boy Shabaan, for example, has lovely muted matching colours with stained, but without? He just doesn't look anywhere near as nice, in my opinion. Colours still match, sure, but he just doesn't have that same dusty brown that I love so much about him.

Honestly it took me a while to figure out what I like in a stained dragon. I eventually figured out that it was because I liked the different colors it could make and how sneaky it could be!

Melantha looked like an obsidian dragon to me until i figured out she was actually dark green with sapphire stained! Instant love

And of course Void wouldnt be who he is without stained!

I'm pretty sure that no other gene can make Lloigor this perfect.

Stained is one of my absolute favourite genes, the colourwheel is huge but it's still limited and stained is the only gene that lets you play outside of the wheel. I kind of love that.
Here's my stained dergs:

Flux is my progen, hers is less of a change but the cooler, darker tone definitely lends well to her lore.

Another one that really just darkens the colours but I adore how it makes her eye glow (I gened her before glowing eyes were a thing)
