As they are probably sticking with the primal tradition for the reworked version of the chromatics, I also thought about something along the lines of a storm dragon or a tempest dragon.
We already have a sky and cloud dragon, so I don't know if that's even needed...

Personally i want to know what they may replace blue dragon with as I am curious what Kazavon has been retconed to. As a major source of evil behind one of the most popular AP's of all time (Curse of the Crimson Throne) and the history he placed in the region;s past as a big bad, would love to know what they changed him to.

Well, I waited for this book since they announced the remaster dragons. I hope it will have a mythic destiny tied to the dragons (as much as i want to see the lich archetype treated as the mortal herald, that can be an high level archetype or a mythic path).
My bet for the black dragon on the cover to be a planar dragon from the Void. The white requiem dragon i think might be a new take on the crpy dragon (much like the diabolic and the empyrean that took place of the infernal and paradise).

I'm betting the black dragon is some sort of Abaddon Dragon (looks all skeletal and swampy, attacking what looks like the river of souls) hence why a Requiem is bearing down on it.

Curious question. The other creature-type themed books (i.e. Book of the Dead, Rage of Elements, Howl of the Wild) were not Lost Omens books. What was the design reason behind why the Draconic Codex is?
Based on the description, there's not a lot of new creature stat blocks here, and much more lore than these other books.
Most of the dragons were (or will be) released in other books (16 out of the 20).All of the ones you mentioned had no reprints and was all new content.
Either this one has reprints (which happens very rarely between Lost Omen and Core, but it happened... but usually it's LO -> Core, and not Core -> LO), or iit have less "stat blocks" than the books you mentioned and much more lore... which would fit in the LO line.

My bet too.
I guess the Requiem is the new Boneyard dragon, as the light in its eyes looks a bit ghostly to me.
And I would call the Abaddon dragon a Nihil dragon.
