Dyeing Weapons
your not the only one who thinks this.. MANY and i do mean many other people (including me) also made posts about this… your not the first.
I searched in the sub-forum but I didnt find any other posts about this, so i posted it.
The weapons are designed to look nice with the colors they have. Dyes would require a huge amount of work in reskinning every weapon in the whole game to have dye maps and channels, reprogramming everything to make them work, and checking that every color functions right on every of them. This is a very expensive request, and I’m assuming you don’t want to pay a dime for it.
There are very few weapons that could benefit from dyeing in the first place. Most have only a tiny hard-to-see section that could be colored, and half those sections are the grip that can’t even be seen when you’re holding the weapon.
For the handful of weapons that could benefit from being dyed, it would be more practical to ask for colored variants. It is so much easier for them to manually adjust a color slider in photoshop a few times than to remap and code the weapons to be usable with the dye system.

Sadly, the Search function doesn’t work. It can only see the most recent posts. This is an old bug that they still haven’t nailed down. If you need to find something, use an external search engine like Google.
There are a few posts on this in the current CDI thread, although this is more of a QoL suggestion than Progression.

I already made a post about this too, a full page length on how it should function and how it would have to co-operate with legendary weapon effects/special armor effects
