Togrutas' pigmentation

A random togruta headcanon I’ve been thinking about for a while and finally decided to write down!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The original and most common pigmentation combinations for togrutas are as follows:

Blue lekku and red skin

Light blue lekku and orange skin

Green lekku and yellow skin

Yellow lekku and brown skin

These were the only colours that the togrutas could have, and sometimes these combinations would mix, but in the end they were always the same 4 skin colours and the same 4 lekku colours.

These remain the most common combinations on the planet of Shili, but it is very common now to find togrutas with completely different colours from the originals ones around the galaxy.

These changes occurred thanks to the encounter with other alien species. It is in fact not uncommon for togrutas who do not live on Shili to have human, twi'lek, mirialian, pantoran or any near-human mammalian species as partners.

Togruta genes are very dominant, so the only difference the second parent's genes can bring is a change in the offspring's coloration. Precisely for this reason new combinations have begun to be exist, some examples:

Pink lekku and red skin

Blue lekku and purple skin

Yellow lekku and blue skin

Gray lekku and green skin

and many others.

As mentioned these combinations can be found around the galaxy, but they’re uncommon on Shili, where the main 4 combinations are still the most common, but the more new pigmentations can still be encountered in the larger cities.
