0004428: Blue peafowl use COLOR instead of CASTE_COLOR, resulting in both genders being same color
When a creature has multiple castes that are different colors, the last color defined is used as the color for all castes. As seen in BIRD_PEAFOWL_BLUE in creature_domestic: the female is brown [COLOR:6:0:0] and the male is blue [COLOR:1:0:1] but both show up in game as blue. Moving the male caste above the female caste causes both show up as brown in game.
The BIRD_PEAFOWL_BLUE entry also has an unnecessary [COLOR:1:0:1] tag at the beginning.

Yeah, COLOR in castes should be CASTE_COLOR instead.

I guess that means the title/summary of this report should be changed to "blue peafowl not using [CASTE_COLOR]" or something similar.
