If you can't make/get a shield to match your armor, have you thought of dying your armor to match your shield..? (I am guilty of doing this in other MMO's)
i think they want to start the System first and look how it works, maybe they have forgotten the Option to dye a Shield/Weapon. I think they will work on this because it is logical you can dye all your Equip.
I hope they work on the Option that you can dye Costumes too, but this is a little difficult because they are only one Piece at the Moment.
They have the Technik out now and they will work on this, give Zos a little bit Time.
Yes, we need Shield Dye now. I am not sure how this got passed over. Especially since all the colors on the Epic quality shields changed with the patch. Some of the shields have a dull pink color to them. I rather not match my armor color to that.

Able to dye weapons and shields?
The development team is divided on this issue with some want weapon dyes and others not wanting weapon dyes. Costumes cannot be dyed currently so that is the first thing we will make adjustments before weapons/shields. Paul wants to dye shields but unsure on weapon dyes.
Shield Dyes or even Guild Shields would be a nice compromise and if not weapon dyes then change them to a neutral metallic color like silver or steel. The veteran 1-7 Dark Elf, Breton, and Imperial maces all have these weirdly dark blue/violet weapon heads/blades that don't look good with any cosmetic armor.
