This is for the best names for colorways. I consider the best names, names that sound good and best represent what you see when you look at the yo-yo. I first thought the company that anodizes comes up with the names (it’s their work), but it seems the yo-yo manufacturer names them :-\ Anyway, Some of the best names in my opinion (I don’t necessarily like all the colors) are: Hair Band Dragonslayer YoyoExpert Hulk Smash Confetti Blizzard ---

Have you seen the Hot Fire Lava Summit? It looks like the yo-yo was touched by Magmar. ---

Another good one RedTwo! I’ve got some questions for you guys, because this is an area where I know nothing. I usually buy solids. The new dragonslayer cascade has “red” in it. I have a few dragonslayers a Yelets and Code 2, and they have orange instead…no red. Has dragonslayer changed, or just a different version of dragonslayer? That one threw me off a bit…still looks nice though. Also, another question…the company that anodizes the Hulk Smash, for example. Can they make that colorway for other companies, or does CLYW have an exclusive right to it? Basically, who owns the rights to the colorway design, the anodizer or the yo-yo manufacturer? ---

Dragon Slayer has red in it. Earlier, OD wasn’t getting a good red in the ano job and it came out more orangey. Some were so light that they released it as “Burning Ember”. But they’re getting much better reds in their Dragon Slayers now. ---

I see. It was never the “red” I’m used to. I thought it was a darker orange. Now, it’s a very red looking red. Also, that Yelets seems to have a dark orange, a lighter orange, and yellow. They are all different looking actually. If I collected yo-yos by the colorway, I might consider this colorway inconsistent due to the recent change. I would have liked to see it stay the same for uniformity…but oh well. This is my Code 2: [http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8376/8406564704\_fef87bfbaa\_z.jpg](http://www.flickr.com/photos/totalartist/8406564704/) [code2](http://www.flickr.com/photos/totalartist/8406564704/) by [The TotalArtist](http://www.flickr.com/people/totalartist/), on Flickr This is my Yelets: [http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8526/8637684337\_c05f65ca4c\_z.jpg](http://www.flickr.com/photos/totalartist/8637684337/) [yelets](http://www.flickr.com/photos/totalartist/8637684337/) by [The TotalArtist](http://www.flickr.com/people/totalartist/), on Flickr Big difference now.
