Xanmeer Doyen's Feather Tiara

The Dye slots for this item are rather odd.

I am an Argonian so I get the leathery looking skullcap behind the feather row and not a 2nd row of feathers.

Dye slot 1 - the bright green feathers (they don't take other colours as brightly though)
Dye slot 2 - the top edge of the silver-white front piece, default it seems to be gold like the 3 spikes above it. Very narrow band
Dye slot 3 - the bottom edge of the silver-white front piece, default seems to the be gold like the 3 spikes at the top of the front piece, very narrow band.

Having such narrow trim pieces dye-able but not the spikes that are the same colour is odd.

The silver-white front piece is not dye-able.
The darker details on the silver-white front piece aren't dye-able.
The 2 gold spikes aren't dye-able.
The 2 grey feathers that drape backwards over the head aren't dye-able.
The leathery skull cap isn't dye-able.

Now, why wouldn't you make the largest areas dye-able at least?

or have the dye tint more than one section of hat?

example:
dye slot 1 = same as current (be nice if it took colours better/brighter)
dye slot 2 = the 3 gold spikes AND the entire trim of the front silver-white piece.
dye slot 3 = the silver-white piece, it's detailing, the 2 grey feathers and leathery skull cap part. (since they are different original texture/colour, they wouldn't look identical but would all be tinted to the new colour scheme at least...)

    I feel the same way. I still bought it because I like it despite the weird dye distribution, but it should have been different. Major sections should have dye priority. It's much better if large sections are dyeable with minor sections looking awkwardly colored, rather than large sections looking awkwardly colored with dyed minor sections.
