    If this ends up being a really broad thing, I assign you the task of creating a disco templar who casts in a wide range of colors. Do it :p for science

    I doubt they will allow for different ability colors as it would make identifying a class much harder for casual players and also take the class identity away a bit....pet skins i could see as the pets are already mechanicly in game - lots of npc ranger movs have various type of animal pets and as long as they keep the type of pet clear it would not create any confusion (sorc only gets deadra and warden only animals) and also keep class identity clear

    It is and one which they announced long ago.

    An exclusive grey-colored War Bear to fight by your side when you play as a Warden

    That said, it sets a precedent and as the image shows it is classed as an 'ability skin' which is good reason to expect others.

    It was shown on the last ESO Live, this is where the screenshot comes from on twitch .......

    It is just a skin for the warden bear ability, does nothing but change the color of the bear ability .....

    Comes with the physical collector's edition, digital collector's edition and digital's collector's upgrade edition according to the pre-order faq ......

    I wouldn't get too excited just yet, remember they plan to release a new 'chapter' each year and this may be part of that. Just because they add something with a specific intent doesn't mean they are going to expand it beyond what it already is. Anything is possible, but I've learned with ZOS not to read too much into anything.

    I really hope this does turn out to be a thing all classes get, which would make sense. Other games have it, and if Warden gets it well it wouldn't really be fair or make sense to have a section of the collections UI just for one skin for Warden pets.

    It would be SO awesome to be able to "attune" my magic color and effects based on race, gear, and the RP backstory of my character.

    I'm surprised they didn't add reskin options for bound armor instead of just making it purple smoke only.

    Also wouldn't mind a Xivilai slave instead of Winged Twilight/Scamp/Clannfear. ;x

    This was already laid out when the announcement for Morrowind was made. The Grey Bear skin is apart of the Collectors Edition. Theres also the fact that months ago they changed the Crown Store Pets tab to Non-Combat Pets indicating they were introducing something that would need to have a distinction.

    I wouldn't be surprised if they did some recolors for sorc pets this way, and put them for sale in the crown store. I'd be ok with that, though. It gets old just seeing the same pale lavender all ... the ... time. ...

    looking at the pets as well as npc's with combat pets i think we could see something like

    warden
    wolves an/or dogs
    sabertooth cats and/or feline/lions
    these murzog green lizard dogs that the goblins have and/or guar types
    these are at least the ones ive seen....and are obviously already in the game and also complement the mount/pet section

    sorc
    i would assume a daedroth/ogrim as alternative to the clanfear, spider daedra alterantive for the twilight and maybe other types of atronachs

    At last eso live they talk about warden's color theme (green-blue, mint color) and said that every class in eso have its own color for class skills so everybody can easily identify your class - orange for dk, red for nb, purple and blue for sorc, yellow for templar.
    If classes are designed in this way, color theme change is not going to happen probably.

    Yeah, and I'm pointing out its probably the only customization they're doing.

    There's an opportunity for Crown Store sales and Crown Crate gambling, so NO, this will not be the only skin. And I'm not all anti-crown store either. Actually quite excited about this.

    Sorcs need it on pets to separate the pet from the npc at dolmens. Black would be my preferred choice.
