Fur Powder

On special occasions, Fur Powder is used by Veyluu to color their fur. These powders are often applied to the fur by rolling around in them. Each color of fur powder has its own unique meaning, with certain colors being used for certain occasions, and some being specific to certain cultures or subcultures. Every powder is made with different ingredients to produce the desired color, and many colors have a unique scent. These powders are often considered a luxury, and can be quite expensive, with a few exceptions.

Coral Pink
Coral pink powder is used to symbolize romance, love, and sexual desire. It is often used for romantic occasions. It is particularly favored by homosexual male Veyluu, and used almost exclusively by them. The powder is composed of dried red or pink flowers and berries, crushed into a powder along with the shells of carotenoid rich shellfish and coral. The resulting powder often has a sweet, flowery fragrance. When applied to fur, the powder's color often softens into a softer, pastel pink.

Violet Purple
Violet purple powder is used to symbolize romance, love, and sexual desire. It is often used for romantic occasions. It is particularly favored by homosexual female Veyluu, and used almost exclusively by them. The powder is composed of dried purple or blue flowers and berries, along with the hypobranchial secretions of a rare species of aquatic gastropod. The resulting powder has a crisp, fresh, bittersweet scent. When applied to fur, the powder's color often softens into a softer, pastel purple.

Charcoal Black
Charcoal black powder is used exclusively for mourning, usually in the event of the loss of a loved one. It is often made from the ashes of the highly toxic Aucaio tree, a symbol of both life and death in Veyluu culture. When applied, it turns even the lightest fur a deep shade of pitch black. It is usually worn for as long as the individual wearing it is in mourning, often reapplied every day after bathing. It is one of the few powders not considered a luxury, primarily because of its intended use, as many Veyluu consider it cruel to make mourners pay for it.
