So, I need two more elements for creating some dragons for this RP I'm writing up. One element needs to be sort of order-y and the other one needs to be chaotic. Some colours for them would be nice too but I don't need it for anything really. I've done most of the obvious ones like fire, ice, death and all that so I need some ones that sort of fit in with those ones.

Depends on what you're going for with the elements, I guess. What's your entire list so far? Are they meant to be the constituents of the natural world, or symbols for something like moral values? Do they represent the habitat of the dragons?

Sorry for lack of detail. I've got the dragons separated into elements that have chaos and order basically
Order:
-White - light
-Blue - Water
-Purple - Death
-Grey - Wind

Chaos:
-Black - Darkness
-Red - Fire
-Brown/Green - Nature
- Yellow - Lightning

For the 'order' element, I'll need something that sort of follows an 'ordered' process kind of thing. For example, death. Death is the end of life, but death is predetermined and controlled so is therefore in 'order'. It's opposite is nature. Nature grows wherever it pleases and at whatever rate it wants. The spread of nature is random and hard to predict and so it is in the chaos faction thing. Hope that helps a little.

If that's the case, Lightning is pretty Order-y.
Though you might be looking something abstract, like Emotion and Thought?

Gravity and time! Not sure where I'd place them, though.

Both seem to be Order by his system.

I'm mixing up my philosophers, but I think either Aristotle or Socrates had lists of of opposites of what is and what is not or something like that. Chaos and order are on opposite sides in this system. I'd look into stuff like that or maybe Yin-Yang in Eastern philosophy to build these elements.

Basically I'm saying that instead of creating a whole new order vs chaos thing, build off of an existing one. Because there are plenty and it'll be easier to explain to players in your role play.

I've been thinking maybe of doing a metal dragon and a crystal dragon. Would that be a good idea?

If so, then crystal, by its nature, is based in ionic bonds. (Most crystals, if high school chemistry has taught me anything.) Crystals actually grow in very predetermined paths, so crystal would be interesting as far as order. Perhaps emotion for chaos, like what Alpha suggested.
