This is something I've thought I would find more about, but I don't see this question asked or discussed anywhere so far.

I have seen female jumpers with a wide range of chelicerae colors - pink, purple, gold, blue, green, red, and even gradients between two or more, not to mention how they can completely change color between molts...and I was wondering, what colors are more or less common than others? IME it seems pink is the most common, maybe followed by purple? But beyond that I am not sure, so I was wondering if anyone else has any observations.

My female P regius had sort o orangey pink chelicerae when she was younger:

She's mature now an they're a very deep magenta. (It's rly hard to get a pic of them now cuz her pedipalps are so fluffy lolol)

It seems like the pinks, corals, magentas, and pinky purples are by far the most common. I've only seen a few with yellows, greens, or blues.

The variety in colours among P regius is so incredible! Feels like it isn't super common for one species to have so much difference between individuals.
