That is we're not looking for Repentant Vampire, but a traditional vampire defined in green or white. Dragons love hoards (artifacts) and fly, sounds blue. Zombies, why not green for such mindless, hungry undead?

I'm always big on flavorshifts Sorrow, so I'm onboard. Your examples, however, are all based on creature types. I presume this challenge is intended to be open-ended, though? For example, if a person wanted to represent what a green flying creature might look like, that would be fair game? Or perhaps what Gerrard, Capashen would be like if he were Black?

FWIW, I read it as "keep colour philosophy the same", "keep colour mechanic identity the same", but find a concept used in one colour which could also be used in another colour. Eg. design a green bird without filling green with too many fliers (um, probably impossible, but maybe?)

Creature types were simply the easiest to use for examples. I guess a non-creature example would be a Sign in Blood type spell flavored as hope. The green creature with flying example, I'm not sure on what you mean. Do you mean to put flying in a green, or just show the green of something that normally is associated with flying? Gerard Capashen as black is more in line with what I was thinking, and sounds reminiscent of the alternate versions of legendary creatures from Planar Chaos.
