Colors?

Was wondering if there would be any plans to allow different colors on armors and clothings. Even with the different styles of the various races, I find myself wanting that extra level of customization that color changes would give me.

Besides, I saw a generic NPC in black leather that got me so jealous....

    Oh, it'd be amazing if something like a dyeing system was set up where we could apply different colors to our gear! They could even integrate it into our current crafting system, where you buy different solutions, or harvest specific plants for their recoloring properties and refine the essence you get.

    "I've been here for years, and lemme tell you all about how they should never change or evolve Z, because then the game would be ruined forever." - The other half of posters on this forum.

    I've been having fun with those disguises that I've been finding. Perhaps more of those will pop up in the future.
    The moment you call someone stupid, or try to display your opinion as "fact", you lose all credibility.

    ooooh, I like this...maybe as part of provisioning or alchemy to create dyes, and clothing/smithing to successfully add to the armor.

    I have suggesting a dyeing ability tied into Alchemy but the real question is, did the game makers take this into account? If they didn't and especially colored each piece of armor (no matter how random it may seem) then it would be quite the undertaking to remove all the coloration from all of the armors and link them instead to a dye system.

    A dyeing system would be a nice add in addition to a preview before craft window.

    I think that if they added a dye creation ability to Alchemy for coloring armor, and a tinting filter (talismans?) ability to Enchantment for coloring powers, it would go a VERY long way to diversifying character concepts.

    Imagine a Necromantic Dragon Knight with black armor and blue fire effects? Or a Bosmer Fae Sorcerer with purple robes and pink spells? These colors wouldn't have to be bright and ugly, just a subtle tint that adds to the idea of the character and his/her purpose or background.
