So many speculate why ... ppl just ran for the red one skipping cutscene, Forum has always been a minority. A lot of players dont read the lodestone or updates so im sure 80% of players dont even know it was dyeable to begin with.

When my partner told me the results are out i asked "did the aura girl win" this is how little i even cared about the whole deal, why am i doing it? Glam/Achievement. But it goes to show that while many believe this to be a big thing ... trust me, most just want "ooooh red works on V-day"

It also did not help that the only female in the race was aligned to that color i think.

If they wanted to do this neutral they would've needed 1 per race and gender giving out a neutral while one which you can dye yourself or get asked how you'd like to dye it.
And even then it would've been between the female miqo, aura and the hyur with long ears.
