The "consent is sexy" campaign is paying off 
That is a really nice set of contrasting posts - in case they are separated in the future, here is the link to the "The Color: No!"

Wow! She has some pretty nice blues when saying yes.
After saying yes, is it me or is she looking just a little bit bored in the second pic?

Maybe a little bored--she's been bred eight days in a row. The male was not terribly interested today when I put her in his cage. I think she is just about to start turning The Color "No." Today her colors weren't the brightest I've seen them when I've introduced her to a male. Here's a few more pictures of Color "Yes" from the same female before another breeding. I just find the color range of the female quads to be really fascinating and beautiful. The last picture was during a breeding a week ago when she went form a normal bright green during most of the breeding to black and then back to bright jeweled green. It was an odd series of pictures. The male turns black when he breeds--that is as long as you don't look at him. I was trying to get a picture of him being black, but of course, as soon as I looked at him he greened up. When I came back a minute later, hoping he was black again, she was black. It went from black male breeding green female, to green male breeding black female.

When your male is "enticing" the female to breed does the brown turn a really nice chestnut, the blues get more intense especially on top of his head and over all just really nice bright contrasts? My male when breeding looks pretty much like the photo of your male in the last pic. I've never seen him turn black while breeding.
I do love the yes colors of your female!!

When he is actually breeding, he turns extremely dark--the impression is black. Then, as soon as I appear, he starts to lighten up and the dark chestnut and blue colors appear. If I still watch, he'll lighten right up to a normal resting green with a blush of red and some blue, but not breeding or display colors. The breeder I loaned my big quad male to had never seen a male turn that black when breeding. The first picture is the first breeding I witnessed (to the female in "The Color of "No!" thread) back in May that produced the 7 two-week old quad babies that I have. The second picture is a few days ago to the female in "The Color of "Yes."
