can we do something about variable animal colors

animal colors coming to the game was kind of cool until i saw just how ugly they are; i don't really understand the appeal of it either

can we not simplify the animal trait system to not be seemingly fully procedural and blotchy and instead just go with a basic "pattern, color, possibly 2nd color" instead? certain animals could be regional as well and require people to travel far away for specific types of animals to trade for and breed with

I think

A) make colours regional so you only get 1-2 colours in each fairly large area and
B) change the shapes of the splotches to be a bit more pleasing visually

would help this.

I'd love to breed for colours, but the cost of quality growth to do it is just too much for me to personally tolerate :/
