WIP 1
Paletterror
Palette + terror. A palette is a surface on which a painter arranges and mixes paints, while terror goes with the dark type & chimeras/lions can be scary.
Pronounced: "pal·it·ter·er"
WIP 2
Paletterr
Similar to above but less letters, one less syllable, and might roll off the tongue better. The "err" may make one think of a "grr" growl as well.
Pronounced: "pal·it·ter"

Renaizion
A combination of "Renaissance" (extremely important period of art), "zion", and "lion"
Pronounced: "Ren-ay-zeye-on"
Zion (a religious word relating to a heavenly city) and Renaissance (art period that focused on humanism) can relate to how Color Change changes the type of art that CAP 29 is

Quimedro
Pronounced: qui-meh-dro
The inspiration for this name comes from the fact that the original artist was inspired by Pablo Picasso's cubist art, who was a Spanish painting. Thus, I decided to combined the Spanish words for chimera and painting, specifically the Quime- beginning and the -dro ending to create a more elegant name for what is most likely a mythical. The "meh" is pronounced the same as in the American pronunciation of Mary.

I’m loving a lot of the more punny subs and would be happy with a ton of names posted already, but I’ll throw my own name in the mix because I’m competitive and love wordplay too.
WIP
Chromaticore
Fairly simple portmanteau of Chromatic + Manticore. I know the base design is more Chimera based, but I feel the two creatures are often enough substituted for one another and chimera is more likened to generic animal fusions nowadays. Plus Manticore just has a more threatening aura to it.
This will likely be what I end up tossing in. It’s also exactly 12 letters, which I think is the limit.

Corruportra
A combination of "Corrupt" / the "-core" in "Manticore" + "Portrait." Corrupt referencing both the initial typing and how its ability changes said typing
Pronounced: "CORE-uh-PORE-truh"
IPA: kɔrəˈpɔrtrə

Chimaster
"Chimaera" + "Masterpiece" + "Master" (because"Chimasterpiece" is too long legendary).
Pronounced "Kye-MAS-ster" or "Kye-MAH-ster" depending on your accent, I suppose.

Avant-Pard
Like avant-garde, plus -pard (panther in ancient Greek and Latin)
(2/3)
Huebroar
(hyoo-brohr)
Hue + Hubris + Roar. Very simple, and also trying to address the Dark type through hubris.
(3/3)
Oozymantivas
(oo-zi-man-ti-vuss)
Ooze + Manticore + Canvas + Ozymandias. A lot going on, and at the 12 character limit. I'm trying to lean into the Poison type here as it hasn't been getting much attention in the name suggestions. Also has a hubris theme through Ozymandias.

Cougarfeit
Cougar + Counterfeit
Pronounced: "COO-gur-fit"
This is a Dark/Poison type after all, so I decided to try toying with the idea of painting-based malice or foul play: the counterfeit! Should it decide to enter such a nefarious enterprise, I can totally imagine this Pokémon assisting the fine art black market with its abilities.
