You omitted that the draconic colored scales are from extremely rare and isolated clans.

Rare, yeah, but still a valid possibility. But the main part I wanted to bring up is that the sentence you were referring to actually already includes "scarlet" as an ordinary colour, so the red one in the accompanying picture fits just fine

Which is exactly the sort of origin that makes a fun character.

Or a one note one. But, while I like monstrous races as options, I dislike the trend of 5e to make our characters "special", unique, or noteworthy before the adventuring even begins. (If this is duplicated for some reason, I'm sorry. It tried editing and that didnt' seem to take, then I tried deleting my original message and reposting. Not sure what's up.)

The player characters are generally adventurers fated to achieve greatness, for them the extraordinary is just ordinary.
