I just crafted voidstone great sword and nightwood shield and they are shiny indigo blue they look so absurd. We can dye our armors but not weapons and shields and its ruining my whole appearance and colorful weapons look so absurd

    This has been asked/polled many many times, the results are always the same: "Yes" always beats out "No" by an enormous margin.

    Please don't heap on me for grammar problems.

    As well as, I don't know, a ruby ring with a bleeping ruby on it!!?! No jewelry crafting is unacceptable, as well as no dyeing of weapons and especially shields. Keep polling it, in multiplicity.

    No, because fair and equal representation of the option we all know nobody in their right mind is going to pick.

    Someone, somewhere is going to make their weapon pink or some other color that is even more absurd than indigo. Oh well, still would be nice to make weapons match the armor.

    I don't think that you should be able to paint your weapons (unless it is red with the blood of your foes) simply because of the aesthetic - I don't think it would look good. However I do think that you should be able to paint your shields and also add your preferred guild emblem to the front.

    Yes shields, no for metal weapons, yes for wooden weapons.

    I just think someone waving around a purple hilt sword with a pink blade would be quite.... disturbing.

    Certainly would like to be able to colour shields, not so sure about weapons but, if you have made a big, male, orc dragon knight, called Pansy and want him to have a pink sword, so be it.

    Luckily bright green weapons are lore appropriate:

    Fine then, I'll go with bright red, or blue. The point is I am trying to be lore breaking, because I find it fun to be the BIG Orc Wearing a Wedding Dress riding on the Striped Senche.

    As much as people want TES to be a dark gloomy gritty muffled earth toned series it's just not. Since there are weapons/armor made of refined gemstones that have appropriate strength for combat within this universe, it is a logical assumption that weapons/armor can be manipulated to any color. So neon blue, red, pink, etc glass weapons/armor could likely exist simply because green exists. Despite people's desires to imprint a strictly earth toned medeival art style (which isn't in line with the lore at all).

    Those who say no make no sense, if you do not want to dye it then don't, why say no to others request to be customized?

    I really like the concept of the guild emblem on shields!
