Correct me if I'm wrong, but I don't think the alliance motifs take on the color of the materials used (at least for the weapons). Most of my swords and staves are made in Dominion, Pact, or Covenant styles for that reason.

I just found out that I am not allowed to dye weapons... meanwhile my nord berserker is running around with a solid blue sword and it looks utterly ridiculous.
I tried converting it to Imperial style but it is still solid blue and looks very very dumb.
Can't I just have a sword that looks like a real sword, and not a plastic toy? What is that? How can anyone anywhere in the ZoS art department take this seriously?
It is blue because of it's level. When you get to level cp150 gear, the weapons will be mostly red.
Okay, how about a grey sword... you know, like... a sword-colored sword. Like every sword in the entire history of planet Earth, ever since swords were first invented.
I can't express how much I hate how this looks. I just logged in to go explore for a while and just noticed this. I have literally stopped playing. That's how bad it looks.

As to a rougher look you can always get a master sword from VDSA, that looks a lot like a long or broad sword. there is some site called eso fashion, might have previews to help you find what you want.

A year from now, when they raise the gear cap to 180-200 CP, the wailing of those complaining about their lost farming days there will be joined by those complaining about the color of their new gear
Hmmm, I'm kind of worried about what colour the mats are going to be for the next range of gear when the level cap gets raised.
This bright red muck is bad enough, but what on Nirn are Zenimankyweoponpants gonna troll us with next ???

If you get weapons made from high level motifs, you will not have your weapons tied to level-based materials like that.
For example, if I made you a sword from the Daggerfall Covenant motif, it would look exactly the same at level 1 as it does at Champion 160...the level and material does not affect the look at all. I make these for my alts specifically for that purpose...so I have classy looking high level gear even on level 1 characters.
Lower tier motifs will have their look vary depending on the level (and material associated with that level). And there is no way to change it. You will either have to learn/acquire higher level motifs and make them yourself, or buy them from a guild. If you are that high in level, the cost to buy weapons with the motifs should be pretty trivial.
This is mostly an incorrect statement. There are a few high level motifs that alter the look enough to hide the material, like the factions and glass to some extent. However the vast majority still showcase the material tier. You can always check eso-fashion.com to see photos of specific pieces in different teirs.
