So i was curious about the new skins.

I assumed that, for example, if you have a black tauren; you get a black bear and the black cat. White skin = white bear and light colored cat.

My question is are there going to be enough skin tones to choose which bear AND which cat we want? Or does each bear have its coresponding cat?

Basically are there going to be 25 skin tones, or just 5? I was assuming 5, but realized i didn't actually read that anywhere.

I was hoping that maybe you could change your kitty and bear looks at a barber shop.

There's a blue post with the official info, but in a nutshell:
• bear and cat both correspond to your caster hair color choice, and
• since there are more caster color choices, there will be overlap (e.g. dun, cream, AND white haired tauren will all have the white bear and cat skins).

edit for:

Technically, you can change your cat and bear colors by changing your hair color in the barber shop (the ability for tauren to change skin/hair color will be introduced concurrently); however, no, you can't customize each form to have a non-caster-dependent color.

The above post is true but I was curious about one thing. I read it as if I had blue hair/fur, I would get a blue bear, blue cat. BUT if I had purple hair/fur, I would get a blue bear/ purple cat (those are both examples, not set in stone or anything). Like several combos depending on your hair/fur selection.



edit - i suck at making sense

Based on the current looks of tauren, I believe there are a total of 19 different skin choices for male tauren, and 11 skin choices for tauren females. Many similar tones will share the same bear and cat forms though. We're looking to release a break down of the tauren skin tones and night elf hair colors, as they correspond with the different cat and bear form color options, shortly after the new night elf cat form art is released.

And by that release, you mean the release you plan on doing RIGHT NOW?

Why do we have to maim our caster appearance to choose what we want one of our animal forms to look like?
And subsequently get stuck with whatever the other paired animal form looks like.

Because druid forms are an extension of what we ourselves are. We're not hunter pets.

Is it possible to have a black bear form and a white cat form at the same time, or are they linked together. It would be awesome if we could change they separately so as to not be locked into one color scheme. I doubt this very much, but maybe i want a black bear and a white cat =()

Just like that nose ring you have in cat form.

So Taurens get more variations then Night Elves. Night elves have 8 total hair styles for both male and female. Leaving us 11 behind the males and 3 behind the females.

Nope. You'll take what's given to you, and you'll LIKE IT!!! Otherwise, you'll have to change your hair color.

Even then, you'll only be able to change it to get EITHER the bear form you like, OR the cat form you like. (Of course, you might get lucky and end up with the ones you want, but how often does that happen?)

Only when it comes to the caster coloring. There will still be five Bear/Cat combos for each race.

I would think because of the more choices with skin tone that it would allow more variations between kitty and bear. One skin tone gives black cat and black bear, another gives black cat and white bear and so on.

Some of the skin tones and hair colors share the same forms, so while there are 19 male tauren skin tones, 11 female tauren skin tones, and 8 night elf hair colors, the total number of form color combinations is very close amongst them.
