What's your favorite chromatic dragon, and why? Mine is white. I've always liked the idea of ice dragons, and as soon as I saw the top-down view of the Ancient White Dragon mini in the PHB1 I was sold. I went out and bought the Icingdeath and Drizz'zt scenario pack, and it's my favorite D&D miniature that I own by far  (And not just because it's big). I do houserule (Is that the right term? More like homebrew) in my games that white dragons are actually the most intelligent chromatic dragons. I associate the far north with long periods of time, especially in fantasy, what with glaciers and ixe floes. It just seemed off to designate them as the most bestial and unintelligent instead of most cunning and patient.

First, an experience from a game I played in a few years back. Our DM didn't like 3.5 as a whole but liked parts of it. So he hands us a big ass rules packet for his modified FR campaign, complete with quotes from important NPC's on the front. I can't remember most of the HRs, just that some how gods like Cyric and Bhaal existed at the same time, despite the obvious problems there. In the end the game became a problem more because of the railroading than the HRs, but it ended with this classic line, after our ranger tried to disarm the strange woman following us WITH HIS BOW: DM: You just killed (insert random noble sounding name here) JP: Was she important? Jack: Dude, she's quoted on the front of the rules packet!

After the meetup with Bastila (as she's carrying Revan's body), only TWO jedi masters remained with her. Let me tell you, the player whining about not getting to fight Revan himself shut up pretty quickly when he saw that.

As much as I love the color purple, I'm more a fan of Green Dragons myself. Their ever-scheming nature makes them more of my kind of villains by default.

I like the Black Dragons, lurkers by nature, sly and aggressive... spitting acid, living in swamps... kind of a more intelligent monster alligator. I lke the looks of their bone ridges.

The scheming Green Dragons are a close second, the subtle threat underneath the master plan. Stalkers and deceivers.

She was still 5-headed but was more of a really powerful, unique standard dragon rather than being built as a deity.  Ac0 (AC20 5e) with 128hp.  These days I suppose you'd treat her as an avatar.  She was THE Chromatic Dragon.
