Smoe possible spell-like suggestions:

Primary breathweapon is a cone of cold pressure (half cold, half force).

Immunity to cold is practically a given. As for the spell-likes, most of those suggested by you are fairly high level, and considering that the dragons theme is trickery and misdirection, they don't really fit. On the other hand, i have different fingers...ehrm, I mean, on the other hand they do fit with the primary breathweapon. Any other suggestions?

Good point...I forgot about the trickery and misdirection theme. I picked 'em based on cold and pressure.

Instead, how about...

Silent image
Nondetection or mirror image
Confusion
Mislead (great wyrm)

Comparing to the other dragons, it should be 4 or five abilities, which may be somewhat varied from the standard abilities (such as a white's freezing fog).
Shade's list looks good in that regard. I'm not sure if the theme calls for a ability with a difference from the normal spell, so I'll say it doesn't.
Immunity to cold (and vulnerability to fire, let's not forget that) are given due to the subtype and to a lesser degree the breath weapon.

I like this list, I think we could put in all five spell-likes with no problem.

Let's see.

3/day - Mirror image (adult or older), Silent image (juvenile or older),
1/day - Confusion (ancient or older), nondetection (old or older), mislead (great wyrm or older).

We could probably add a cantrip or 1st level spell as well at an earlier age category. If we go with a cantrip, it should be useable at will, a 1st level spell would be useable once per age category of the dragon.

Suggestions? Thoughts?

 

[Knight Otu]

Maybe Ghost Sound, or a sound imitation ability similar to blue dragons?

It is a possibility, any other suggestions?

 

[Gez]

Ghost sound seems the most appropriate cantrip. You could instead give it ray of frost, but it wouldn't be that interesting, given its breath weapon. Dancing lights, maybe.

 

[Ferret]

I'd go with Dancing lights....
