Do I have to adopt rare colours for them to be counted as "discovered"?

Hey folks.

Question's in the title. :) I'd appreciate the help.

I’m pretty sure I’ve added to the ‘discovered’ stat by just putting them to sleep and holding up my journal to check them normally. Also, the journal is misleading, ‘cause I’m pretty sure there aren’t 400+ rare colors, it means there’s 400+ colors in the whole game, because no lol

Yeah, I thought that description was odd / misleading too, they clearly didn't use a pattern/colour generator (which I'd have been down bad for if mixed with a breeding system.) xD

Thanks a bunch!

Am I missing something? Oonce you've documented a species, you really just get the info window from putting a dino to sleep and getting out the logbook.

Is that legit how you get it? 'Cause, if so, this game, in all its enjoyment, is making me question sanity yet again lol

The info window showing up when you hold your journal over them is enough for the game to consider that color ‘discovered’.

Also, tip, you don’t have to take a dinosaur to your ranch to register it in Mari’s storage. You can befriend it, name it, then immediately tell it to return to the wild. That way you can collect various rares even at times when you don’t have space for them. Just make sure to stock up on poppins in case Pippin vanishes the day you find an albino-
