The Youtube channel, All Things DND, is known for it's vids about game tips, accounts of games, and homebrew short stories. And one if it's best and most heartwarming, was a story about a Green Dragon who was driven out as a wyrmling for being small, weak and hesitant to be evil. So, he made his own lair in an enchanted forest, and learned about goodness by watching a Wood Elf village, and what it meant to be good. In the end, he saved the village from attacking orcs. And the Wood Elves, though initially frightened, came to love and accept the dragon.
I loved this story so much, that I've decided to make it canon to my own Forgotten Realms and Wildemount settings. Currently, the plan for a sequel for this is to find the dragon a mate who shares his views. It's going to take more then one dragon to reform an entire species of dragon. And it's going to be VERY difficult to find a female green dragon who also doesn't want to be evil. But if one can be found, they could raise their wyrmlings to reject Tiamat and maybe make a difference in Chromatic Dragon society. And if a female Green cannot be found, would a female Metallic love him?
This sounds like a less common romantic roleplay sort of campaign.
The challenge here is that you might set up a whole bunch of quests, to get items or gold or that sort of thing, only for the party to be like "It's ok, just be yourself and they'll love you" and it's all for naught!
I would have this as a sidequest in a campaign. I would have them encounter the green dragon and find that it's good, and that it's lonely, and then later discover another lonely dragon who they might pursuade to visit him. But I would not build a game around it as the sole cause. Not least, most adventurers boil down to "so what will you give me to help?" whereas this sort of quest needs to be born naturally from the party resolving to try and find them a mate. It needs to happen organically, if that makes sense.
I'd say that a metallic could definitely love them, as it is their clashing morals that are the issue, not their chromatism.
