Armor colors
Okay... I need some info. My character has NEVER been able to make armor that I find attractive. I do see armor that I like on other ppl's chars, but I cannot duplicate it. This picture is one of a cuirass that I like. I'm pretty sure it's Altmer armor made with Orichalcum (as the wearer is lvl 33 and the orichalcum gives it this particular design). So, I made Altmer orichalcum armor. I tried it on> ugly olive green color. I improved it once (green label)> ugly olive green color. I improved it one more time (blue label)> ugly olive green color. Does anyone know if the class you choose (templar/sorcerer/dragonknight/Nighblade) has an effect on armor looks? What about male/female differences? Hair color (I ask this because hair color DOES have an effect on accessories)?

Shimond✭✭✭✭As far as I know armor gets tinted differently as it progresses within a tier. Like level 1 armor has a different color to it than level 14, even though they're the same model. I'm not sure if the quality (white, green, blue, etc) has any bearing on that.
It's still a work in progress but eso-fashion.com is trying to do them by colors, not just tiers.Edited by Shimond on April 28, 2014 8:09PM0 -

This. There are often very subtle changes between item quality levels, but the actual level of the item has more to do with it.
Now, to the original issue: all orichalcum armor has a slightly greenish hue because orichalcum is green. That's all.----

It does with clothing.... Not sure it that's a big difference, but the Imperial robes are a pretty sky bluish when they're normal quality... Upgrade them to blue quality and they are the color of redish-brown-clay-mud-crap0

Well, the armor I saw has NO green tint... too bad I'm too dumb to figure out how to show you! lolEdited by coedgamerLinny on April 28, 2014 8:13PM0

You could try postimage.org, I have had success getting pics uploaded with them in the past.

I uploaded it to google and used the [img][/img] code that I've always used in forums with the google url of the picture in between... It didn't seem to work, though. 0

Level 30 Altmer heavy plate armour is silver and blue, then when you hit 32+ it turns green and gold with a few white-ish areas, as you improve the quality to green, blue and so on, the white vanishes and is seemingly replaced with more green and gold panels instead.

edit: oh! also, I don't think world-drop set armor will never change color regardless of what level range it drops at and how much you upgrade it, could be that.

Lazarus_Long✭✭✭BTW, that is Altmer armor and it looks like it's tier 3, but the color is way more silver than what I can craft. I have never made any that I improved above blue though. Mine is olive drab with a silver bird crest.
EDIT: Have you tried the Breton tier 3 armor? It comes out silver, but I don't have screenshot ATM.Edited by Lazarus_Long on April 28, 2014 10:53PMThe List For Living - A guide for new or troubled players

That was why I was asking. I've never been able to craft a pretty one like this, either!
It seems like no matter what I make, it's drab-greenish. When you say tier 3, you mean the third material you can use, correct? 0 -

Mortuum✭✭✭✭Next tier(ebony) will not be green, itll be gold, but armor design sadly remains same. While sets from lvl 1 to 36 change their appearance with each tier, from 36 it is always same, except for color(check icons in craft windows, they display same icon/design from 36+).
Not sure if it is a bug, or just game designers decide to give us same sets even if you change material/tier...Was looking all way to have ebony set, as it was my favorite design in ES titles, bit disappointed only thing that change is color.0
