Hi!So if you want a Koi with blue water,whith a koi in red, you must add orange and yellow in each scalles and you must to add green color in the water….the blue/green and hotcolors are very beautifull…..
blue water with koi in white and black it’s not a good idea….Koi in colors whith white and black water, it’s beautiful to….;)

:rolleyes:Excuse me for being blunt but to suggest a red Koi MUST have any certain color added is just bullshit. I don’t know where you get your information but you couldn’t be further from correct on every level of your statement. You MUST add green to the water? Why? That would only serve to dilute the blue if that’s what you want then fine. Nothing wrong with either. To suggest a red Koi must have both orance and yellows in each scale is just ridiculously stupid. Then you’d only have a tiny bit of each color in each scale which would give the entire tattoo a orangish blurred tone, not enough of any color in a single area to stand out, without constrast they disappear into the background leaving nothing to draw the eye to. Basically Koi look great as long as the colors used are complimentary to the colors used in the background, or water as in this case. This is true with art in general
Hi
You could go for a few coloured scales towards the ehad and face and have them gradually spread out down the spine and across the sides.
Below is a few examples

Koi often use there coloured scales to attract mates and to fend off predators with the flash of colour.
Most colours work as long as they are in proportion to the body and suit the background colour as well.
Good luck!

in each scalles, you start with red and pass to orange and you finallyze with small yellow, in shading…And you have a very lightly tattoo.I don’t talk you of original Koi carp, but a model more ambicious, more modern….And the fire color are more lightning with green, but the water is blue, so you must to add green color in shading whit blue…You understand?:D ….of course, it’s no possible if do a traditional koi…
heu…only if you want a modern version of traditional koi, of course!!!
