Inner Reach

Inner Reach (Dramune I) is the first inhabited planet in the Dramune system. It's populated by Dralasites who, while only able to see the world in monochrome, have developed a local custom that is in relation to this odd, they dye their skin different colors to indicate their mood for the day. The dye is easily washed off. The Dralasites here have incorporated color into their buildings.
== Economy ==
Inner Reach is a planet of agriculture and industry. Inner Reach doesn't have a mining industry, instead relying on Outer Reach for minerals. Industry on the planet processes these resources into manufactured goods.
==Shades of Mood==
Those who settled Inner Reach where not vastly different from Dralasite's proper initially. They where drawn together by introspective thought and thus named their world 'Inner Reach' as they sought to 'find themselves'. At somepoint in their history, as members of the population began to examine external rather then internal matters to find themselves, the Dralasites of Inner Reach began to discuss color. Primarily what colors they can not see and how, for example, Humans can see the unseeable colors. This lead to discussion on how Humans for example can not only see these colors but associate them with emotions; Blue with sadness and Red with Passion. Discussion regarding why colors are associated with different emotions and activities coupled with the Dralasite's inability to see these colors eventually lead to an experiment to see if they themselves can associate different shades of grey with such if given an environment that does so. This voluntary experiment had such stimulating results as to be popular, eventually becoming a recreational activity. New Dralasites, finding themsleves in a world that associates shades with moods picked up on it and from there it became a local custom- a cultural distinction defining Inner Reach. This custom has refined over the years with dye companies using insight from other species to create colors that they can't see but that are associated by those who do see it with the mood the dye is to reflect. This has lead to a question- a natural progression of the discussion that started so long ago- is their a true color of joy? Is any one color 'truly' definitive of a mood? Those who don't dye their skin are into these counter culture discussions. Counter culture also includes individuals who wear the opposite color of what they really feel to see if over time that color becomes associated with the mood even while currently symbolizing the opposite in a bid to show color association as a fluid social construct that should not be enforced.
