Dragon scales (red & black)

[-I-_ Chimaera _-I-]

Why does the black color on this skin make the scales so invisible? Is it supposed to look like this? This skin is not what I imagined, it has potential but it was ruined by the wrong shade
Would it be possible to change the shade a bit and give those black scales a more brighter/metallic/inky look?
